[sdiy] question about cables

[cheater cheater]

Don't solder to headers. They're not suited for that. They are
sometimes even treated so that stuff doesn't stick to them.. not a
great idea to try and solder to those. They will often end up
'rejecting' the solder.

If your wire snaps off after it's soldered: you need to use a wire tie
(one of those plastic wrappers) to fasten the cable higher up, to the
pcb. The cable should be flexible at that point already. The
non-flexible part doesn't move a lot then, and it's all fine.
