[dorkbotpdx-announce] Surface Mount Soldering Workshop -- Sunday, January 29, 2012
Jim Eastman
suitable for newcomers to SMT as well as more experienced hobbyists
who are looking for a reliable method for building projects using SMT.
We will cover the basics of surface mount parts and the tools
necessary to work efficiently with them, including a temperature
controlled hot plate reflow system which you can build. And we will
offer a hands on build session where you will go through all the steps
in populating a PCB with parts and doing the reflow soldering process
to end up with a working project.
No tools or prior experience is necessary although, if possible, you
can bring a soldering iron, some type of magnifier (reading glasses,
visor, etc) and a good pair of fine point tweezers. We will have some
tools available to use during the workshop.
WHERE: ADX, 417 SE 11th Avenue, Portland, OR
WHEN: Sunday, January 29th, 2012, 1-5pm
Kits will be $8.00 each. Build a 2AA to 3.3V or 5V converter.
Jim Larson and Scott Dixon have a lot of experience teaching this
course and are looking forward to doing so again.
