Populating the Pi Purza Boards

A project log for Pi Purza - an IO board for Pi

got tired of connecting sensors, LCD, RTC, LEDs and buttons to a Pi, so here is a small PCB for it.

Well, this project was mostly done some months back, but the final task was to get all the Pi Purza PCBs populated, assembled, tested and ready for use in classes and to sell.

I asked [Noor Ahmed] to get started with the soldering of the PCBs, most difficult was the RGB LED and the RTC Crystal as I had forgotten to increase pad sizes for these and as we are not very with soldering of SMD parts, this was a big headache, in the end almost all boards work and just a few issues to resolve, before the final soldering of the 40 pin Pi header.
