It's an easy test though and it can be an SMD component and some PUR-coated magnet wire or 30 awg single stranded kynar hookup wire.

Use a small amount of glue from a hot glue gun to fixate it when done, or epoxy if that's your thing. Avoid cyanoacrylate. Not always needed but I imagine a drone moves around alot.

Bodge wiring is a good skill to acquire - PCBs will not always be perfect. Maybe practice on something else first?



True.

I have a bunch of through-hole parts for these sorts of situations. There are plenty of small through-hole ceramics that have leads if you really want to go there.

Like this or something similar.


I've seen piggy backed decoupling caps straddling chips on some pretty fancy hardware. This lesson is re-learned quite frequently ;)
