    HPCB micro metal gearmotors with extended motor shafts

    - 4 November 2016

    Regarding the dual shaft motor with HPCB compatible (P/N 3081) encoders:

    Found that soldering the wires and motor tangs to the encoder PCB required a medium soldering skill level (I needed pointy soldering iron, and flux with mechanical hands).

    When soldering, be careful of your pin (or wire) clearance for the through holes on the side of the PCB facing the motor housing (kinda tight).
    I chose to solder the header (not included in 3081 encoder pair kit) I used onto the PCB first, then soldered the motor tangs. It looks like it would be a chore if soldered in the other order.

    Before soldering the motor tangs to the PCB, I had to take care to align the through hole for the extended motor shaft as well. Magnetic encoder is light press fit onto the shaft (able to be done with fingers and seems on the shaft solid). After the first motor, soldering up the second motor was much easier.

    Enjoy guys/gals!
