I accidentally messed up my novice soldering job on the RS485 converter to utility board while moving the board and it seems like I damaged the utility board at the RS485 inputs. Is there a way to connect the converter to the grove mini board directly via grove cable? Or should I send for a new utility board? Thank you very much! (EDIT: It was working fine prior to me getting the bright idea to move it into a new weatherproof box  ) |

Do you want a new utility board? I think you need one. Post a picture for sure.

Thanks - I'll mail out an envelope for a new board.
I wasn't able to get a great picture- but the contacts surrounding at least two (TX and GND) inputs are definitely missing...

 Seems like it - was trying to remove the soldered in pins from the board. Should have watched a YouTube video to refresh my memory before I actually tried doing it... Appreciate the help. I'll be putting in for a new board, and will be more careful with it!
