  • When I selected the tiny QFNs for the LDO and the MCU, I imagined it would be hell to solder them correctly. I was sooo wrong ! Check this out: Fig. 1: 3.3V LDO: 2x2mm QFN, with thermal pad. Fig. 2: STM32L072KB: 5x5 mm UFQFPN, with thermal pad.You need...
  • Solder paste?

  • Well, it's better to say 'Solder Mess'!The board 'face' in the middle is worth a thousand words.First ever try using solder paste and hot dryer gun.

  • hi again!Another short update. I've been playing around with the setup a bit more. Things seem to be doing relatively well. I'm running off a 12v iron core transformer now, testing the voltage after the rectifier and the capacitor seems to be looking...

  • UPDATE -- New SOIC-breakout... see below.Working on a solderable-prototype... due to solderless-breadboard-wiring-wonkiness.Decided not to design a full-on PCB, yet, as it's still in the prototyping-stage...Decided on 70mm x 70mm boards, they're much...

  • Soldered all of the SMD resistors and capacitorsSoldered to LDO (U17)Soldered the solo op-amp IC (U18) - this gave me trouble even with reflow soldering, nearly ripped off a padSoldered all of the power circuitry, -5V inverter regulator (U8) the 5V regulator...
  • Solder Haze

  • We have a working prototype! Almost all the components are scavanged from PCBs that were meant for a completely different purpose, it makes me happy that they get a new purpose in this radio receiver. Initially I built the VFO with salvaged varactor...

  • De-soldered +5V regulator with some difficulty Soldered a new one, output was still ~1.0V ***Found out there the +5V power and -5V power lines were shorted together Location of the short circuit was at U18, the high precision op-amp in the Rhi-Control...
