Notice skip to paragraph 3 to avoid rant
Hey guys and gals just received my r200 in the mail and come to find out it doesn't charge via usb. To say i'm pissed is an understatement i checked there site before hand if it did and it def confirmed. But now after they shipped them out they changed there site but even some reviews state it charges vi usb so i know im not alone on this.
Although i could probably get a refund at this point i still really like this mod and haven't given up hope. The quality of the r200 is awesome it's light, compact, accurate and easy to disemble. The easy disassembly was important because if a micro switch goes bad (typically the 1st thing to go bad) i can solder on a new one.
Sorry for the long rant lol but my main question is does anyone have any advice on soldering a pcb module to the existing usb. From a quick look in the mod it seems i could make room for the extra hardware but to say i'm intimidated wpuld be an understatement. If you have any advice it would be very helpful also if you know of a good pcb that might fit the bill thanks.
P.s. if you feel inclined to warn me how charging batteries via usb is dangerous thank you for your concern but idc. Please don't comment unless it's to help with adding a pcb to my mod.
