Man i wish I had thought of thatGrootWitbaas wrote:actually looking at the gen 2 board it looks like the pad location is a slight bit off, so here is a update possible mod. Clean the track like in the picture.
At the red line cut very carefully and at the blue circle place a small drop of the conductor paint used to repair the heater in the back window of a car.
I do not know how good this will be, but if you put a few small coats of the paint it can probably work ok, and that will be a solder less solution. No extra wire needed for the track to the left
Alternative a small piece of copper track from a broke/test board can be soldered between the pad and track.
I wonder if one would have to cut a small slit to have a gap between the pad and the trace to avoid a short, which still shouldn't be too difficult, definitely better than soldering.
Nice one!!
