[Coco] Luis, your RGB2VGA board is terrific !!!

Kip and Didier (and anyone that want to solder the board).

I made three boards already (yes, they´re awesome!) and I got some
experience soldering the header connectors. I wrote it on my site, but It
was in portuguese, so here is in english.

The best way to solder the connectors to the DE-0 board is to solder them
with the board connected. Yes, I know you shouldn't do this. But we are
professionals, right?:-)

Connect the board to both 20pin double headers. Insert the header to the
RGB2VGA board.

When everything is right, solder the edge pins with a low temperature iron
(250F or 300F). After soldering 4 pins on each header, remove the board
slow and carefully using a screwdriver to pry.

Raise the temperature to a regular 350F and solder the rest. If you want,
reheat the edge pins when the other pins are soldered.

My second and third boards I made this way, and they fit perfectly on the
Altera. I needed to resolder my first board do make it work.

Happy cocoing!
