Slim RF Board Ground Point?

[thehunter398]

I am doing the coolrunner LED mod and i saw in a post how to install a separate LED on a PHAT RF board but not slim. All i need is a diagram of ground area/points i can scrape and get copper to solider to.

you can use any area that has no traces around it.

hold it up the a light and you will see the traces clearly.

If it's only a ground you're looking for you can solder to any ground pin,point,etc.

Somewhere on the larger green parts are grounds (Inside the orange lines for example), I advise you also double check with a multi meter.

I reccomend one of the two placements shown in the picture below. I normally use the top left example on my installs.

You could have saved yourself a lot of hassle and just done a continuity test with a multimeter.

All you had to do (with the RF board connected) was touch some copper around the edge of the board or where the screws go with one probe and touch each of the pins on the RF board with the other probe to find out which was ground.

And im pretty sure theres a thread in the case modding section that covered this. :smile:
