Sean Hodgins has a great tutorial on surface mount soldering:
Decide how you want to assemble your SMD Challenge Kit (re, the video) you can choose to use a soldering iron, or a reflow oven. They take about the same amount of time but using the soldering iron can be a little more challenging and doesn’t require a cheap toaster oven.
Parts:
- Bill of Materials for PCB on FindChips.com
- PCB Files on GitHub – or order them on my Tindie Store(soon) or get them by being a Patron.
- Solder Paste (for reflow oven)
- Solder for Hand Soldering
- Flux for Fixing
- CR2032 Battery
Tools:
- Toaster over for Reflowing
- Soldering Iron – Hakko FX888D is what I use.
- ESD Safe Tweezers
