Hi,
I have modified the camera from the ezb kit by soldering wires on the camera board in order to power it by the ezb (like winstn6 did in this thread http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/posts.aspx?threadId=35, thanks to him).
In my real" Wall-e", the camera will be inserted in the eye, but some wire will be unprotected, outside of it.
My question is: is it safe to hot glue the soldering and the wires on the camera to secure them?
Thanks for your advices.
Can you anchor or hot glue the wires to a part of the board that has no traces or electronic parts? Can you hot glue the wires to a part of the camera that the board is anchored to?
So, from your answers, one can say that it is not unsafe to do it, but not really recommanded, right?
Thus, I will first try to find another way to secure the wires, but without any satisfying solution, I think will take my chance (I think my soldering are not so good, anyway. I am learning, but I don't find that it is that easy :))
Just have fun and enjoy!
Like Dave said, it depends who you ask, but the bottom line is it is safe to do it, if you want to.
But learning some good practices can't do any harm
Thanks.
