On the subject of electronics, my cheap eBay hot air rework station arrived yesterday. I have to say that it is far better than the £22 asking price had me expecting. It made very short work of swapping out some SOIC8 packages, though I did pull up some pads removing a 100-pin LQFP. But then I doubt I could have ever got that off with an iron, and I don't think the problem was any fault of the device. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.X858d.TRS0&_nkw=858d&_sacat=0 -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
