my oppinion about 1.6's is
dont use the quick solder boards.
dont use solderless adapters.. (true for all boxes)
just solder in a pin header and do a wire lpc rebuild.
x3's and x2's use the same rebuild and pin header. but other cheap mods like the aladin, and even chips like a duox2 use a diferent lpc rebuild.
but either way, at the end of the day if your selling them the only way i have found to be sure that the chip still works after shipping is to do a wire rebuild and a solderd lpc header.
quik solder boards suck. sometimes they dont connect to the pad properly or you lose conectivity at the lpc and you cant really test continuity from the pad to the pin once its on. It may boot fine in testing, but after 100 miles of being thrown around a back of a van the things may not work when it gets to the destination.
and solderless adapters almost always find away to pop lose of either the lpc or the d0 point.
so yep wire build. and a solderd lpc header. IMO its the only way to guarantee the chip will fire up when the buyer gets it.
