Miraculon:
You've been helpful with others as they take their first steps. I just got a notice today that my envelop will be mailed tomorrow. He says it usually takes 14 days to get here.
I'd better get all the stuff together and get he Eval board ordered, and such.
I have Weller temp control station with a fine tip pencil, and was going to review construction of the board. Yes, the low, intermediate and tall comes to mind for order, and bending the two electrolytics over so they don
t rub also is in mind.
But was there link pointed to earlier in these various discussions about getting brushed up on the board cleansing, fluxing, size of rosin core solder to use, etc?
I can't seem to find it and wanted to review the basics and the 'makes it easier' tips before the C.A.R.E package arrives and I can clear the bench to begin slow, deliberate, don't screw up, assembly.
Thanks for any tips or links to some solder and board prep notes.
Dale
(I'll be station 677, here in Eau Claire, WI. With Thomas over in Rochester MN we may be a bit close, but for the right geometry, might help provide coverage south of us.
