 .thunderbold | Hmm then the issue might have been a ground loop | 19:38:20 |
 lummsmusik | You are right. I learned my lesson from this mistake and gathered some experience with soldering other nice kits like the very easy little Rakit Mixer. Rakit delivered some high quality SAC305 solder with the kit which is a crucial difference to my former solder which did not flow so well. Also I increased the temperature to 350 degrees celsius which also made everything much easier. | 22:28:39 |
 positionhigh#2735 | for lead free solder that is common today, i go even higher like 380-390 degree celsius. however you have to be quicker then since flux will evaporate more quickly. | 22:31:57 |

| .thunderbold | 375 is my standard soldering iron temperature for when I need to solder through-hole 🙂 sometimes I lower it for ICs. But speed is important then, quickly apply the solder and pull the iron back | 15:51:52 |
| lummsmusik | Finally I did it! After crying and annoying my wife for hours I found a few mistakes. All things I have done wrong you can find in warning sections of the built instructions 😉. No I am very happy and play my MDT. And it sounds amazing! | 18:17:22 |

 telemann_ | Hello everyone | 16:52:11 |
| telemann_ set a profile picture. | 16:52:15 |
| telemann_ | I'm very interested in building the MicroDexed and I have some questions: First what exactly does it mean that the MicroDexed Touch is "Depreciated"? | 16:54:11 |
| positionhigh#2735 | Hi there. It meens you are looking at the outdated version. Where every you read that, there should be a link to the new capacitive version. | 16:55:50 |
| telemann_ | Oh!!! Thank you!!!! | 16:56:14 |
| positionhigh#2735 | however depreciated does not mean it is broken, just that there is a newer version | 16:56:42 |
| positionhigh#2735 | main change is about the touch-display. | 16:56:56 |
| telemann_ | Excellent! | 16:57:11 |
| telemann_ | That's the one I want the touch display | 16:57:28 |
| telemann_ | Thank you so much! | 16:57:35 |
| positionhigh#2735 | both are touch, but the newer one has a more modern touch | 16:57:54 |
| telemann_ | The other question was, where is the parts list? I'm having a hard time finding the parts list | 16:58:07 |
| positionhigh#2735 | please take a look at the wiki:

| telemann_ | Thank you very much, I appreciate it. | 16:59:52 |
| telemann_ | Hi I have another question.. I noticed that the new IPS Screen with capacitive touch offers two different versions: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805739712245.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.4c6e4ae4FvwMuX&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt | 21:53:31 |
| positionhigh#2735 | yes one is without touch and one is :_) | 21:54:22 |
| telemann_ | Which is the correct one to buy, the "Touchless IPS" or the "IPS with touch"? Thank you | 21:54:26 |
| positionhigh#2735 | please go with "IPS with Touch" | 21:54:30 |
| telemann_ | Excellent, thank you | 21:54:54 |
| positionhigh#2735 | otherwise you will get just the screen | 21:54:56 |
| telemann_ | Got it. Thank you so much | 21:56:28 |
