Hey there,

Yesterday I assembled another prototype cause two of the four I made were not working and I needed three to deliver to Supplyframe Inc..

I used a mix of hand soldering (for the TQFP package and nearby crystal/caps/ferrite bead) and reflow soldering (everything else; I placed some solder on all pads, a lot of flux, then I placed the components and reflowed them using an hot air station).

I might say that I'll use reflow soldering a lot from now on, because it was pretty easy and faster than anything I tried on these protos. I had a small issue on the LED that was not working, but I just had to add some solder on its pads and on the 68 Ohm resistor pads and it blinked correctly.

Now, for the guides, please take a look at the details of the project, which I'll update in a few minutes.

Cheers,

Mick
