Hey everyone, quick announcement.  Brainsilo now has a high end soldering station equipped with a nice iron and reflow tool capable of working on surface mount boards, as well as a new 3D printing station.  Members may come and use anything there 24/7 and non members can come check it out during our Thursday open house nights.  Unfortunately I won't be able to make it tonight, but hopefully another member will be there to unlock the door at 7.

dean, that is just bad-ass! brainsilo super-upgrade right there =)
quite coincidental too, I am in need to 'reflow' a chip from my monitor in the hopes of bringing it back from the dead... this forum post explains how people have fixed my same monitor issues I am experiencing using a reflow process, but thing is I've never done anything like that before. would someone be willing to demonstrate the basics of using the reflower device? (too bad I can't make it tonight, hopefully on a wednesday I'll be able to check it out)

That's very exciting. When's the class for learning care and feeding? :)

Dean,
Do we have a digital projector and a surface to project on?
Seeing as how you're publicizing the 3D printer, it might be a good idea to schedule my 3D printer talk :)

Yay for 3D printing! Anybody know how to use it or are we starting from scratch?
