Re: Comfort UCM

[Alan Shields <alan@xxxxxxx>]

I soldered mine to those holes, if you have a spare screw connector i'd say
thats ideal. I don't know why they don't include them for the sake of a few
pence.

Almost had a drama upgrading the U1 IC, after unplugging the battery and
removing power the external siren started squealing, so I was in a bit of a
hurry to extract the old IC and damaged it. Fortunately the new one worked
fine, if it had been a dud I would have been up the proverbial creek.
