Taranis Haptic Upgrade Installation Review

Before you start, you need a very pointing soldering iron! If you have a blunt one, stop right here and go buy a pointy one or a new pointy tip. You will never get R10 without one. Soldering the ground and signal wire was easy. You need a very small wire for the R10 as well. I tried to use a wire from an old servo, but it was pretty large and I was having a terrible time getting it soldered on. Also, after the small red wire was soldered in place, I used some hot glue to hold it to the board right near the connection. I didn't want the wire moving and coming loose when I put the case back together. If you aren't comfortable with a soldering iron, ask one of your friends to do it. It isn't impossible, but I did have to resolder it 10 times before I got a good enough connection to hold it in place Oh yeah, the vibration it puts off is kind of soft. If you did a speaker replacement, you'll probably get more haptic feedback from that than you do this haptic upgrade. It is, however, cool to have it when I know other people don't. :)
