Data solder pads are one-sided and pull right off the board. Soldering to a pad causes the internal connection to the pad to separate. The board itself is overheated for no reason.
The board design makes them practically unusablein any project i can imagine. The chip works (that is the reason for the second star) the v- pin was only at -2v, so clearly something is wrong with the chip or the circuit. These boards are very underen... Read More

I could see if you tried attaching larger or solid wire or a component directly it could be dicey
