SMD Reflow
This class will introduce the student to the concept and practice of do it yourself reflow soldering for surface mount components. Being able to use surface mount components in your design can enable smaller and less costly projects in addition to increasing the number of chips that are usable in your designs.
The What
This class is mainly geared towards people familiar with through hole soldering and electronics who are looking to make their projects smaller and cheaper at the expense of increased complexity. You will have the chance to practice re-flow solder while making a useful widget. At the end of the class, you will have your very own logic level converter to take home with you so that you may continue on your path of hobby making/tinkering.
