Hi,

I was just pondering for a bit.... I plan to build a device based on  
a ts-7400 with an embedded usb stick. During prototpying, I just plug  
that into the usb recepticle on the ts-7400 and all is well.

However, I wouldn't exactly call that a "rugged connection" ;)  
Besides, the stick sticks out the wrong way.

Can anyone advise a smart (cheap) method to make this more rugged? Is  
there something smart that handles this or should I simply grab my  
soldering iron, solder off the usb recepticle, solder off the usb  
connector of the device and solder things back on the pcb, with the  
usb stick hanging above the pcb?

I'm more of a software guy hence the question. I'm not sure how  
critical usb is in terms of my soldering qualities (virtually absent).

ts sells the ts-7400 as an wifi ap so they probably solved this in  
that box but ordering one just for the purpose of seeing how they did  
it (I trust them completely when it comes to ruggedness) seems a bit  
of a waste.

Thanks,

Bas.
