So I was pretty depressed about breaking the PCB and I went ahead and ordered a bunch more just in case but then I just let it sit for a day or so. Went back to it yesterday and decided that I should be able to glue the board back together. Did that and it turned out OK. Seems to be holding and I 'think' that I can still solder properly. Right now I need some 30ga wire so I'm going to stop by radio scrap to see if they have any. Not sure where else might have it in town (wally world?) Once I get that then I'll attempt to solder by the broken part and see if it works... fingers crossed.
Other than that not much progress.I am going with running wires instead of long solder traces... its just plain easier. I have copper wire and something else (same stuff I used on the cube) so the positive and ground wires will be 2 different colors of bare wire. Just to make it easier to tell them apart.
Think I need some solder wick too... hoping to get that tomorrow.
