@azrobbo@Gordon I attempted to solder the small sockets. I tried hot air and the dragging method without any success. I tried pointed tip, small chisel and large chisel. I can get the solder to stick by using a flux pen, however, the drag method creates bridges between a few pins. I tried using the copper wick to soak up the excess solder, but the pins are so small I can't get the solder to wick fully. I think my xPico project is now a bust since I can't get a socket to solder to the breakout. Any other ideas that I could try?
