How would you connect wires to this UART (GND/TX/RX) if you don't have a solder at hand?

@whynothugo I'd buy a soldering iron.

@whynothugo I assume this is how everyone charges batteries.

@whynothugo Drywall screws. You have to sand off the coating though or they don't contact well.

@whynothugo Take a piece of metal, needs to have a reasonable thermal mass. Heat up with a flame until it glows (try not to have soot on it). Solder with that.

@whynothugo Temporarily: loose wires laid over the pads, tape down with electrical tape, then a binder clip to secure it. Permanently: get a soldering iron.
