Hi Vasi, I tried my new soldering station. It's very nice, it's getting hot very fast and is quite accurate even if I still do need the very thin tip.
I tried to solder FTDI chip I had, from a previous try (carnage). And I'm quite satisfied :) Soldering flux is also mandatory. I'd need a magnifying lamp too. I have a jewel magnify bought on DX, nice, but not very handy to solder and hold the magnifier at the same time. 2010/10/1 funlw65 <[email protected]> > Hi Sebastien, > > I think a SMD 18F2550 can be soldered more easy than a FTDI chip... it > deserve a try for an Arduino like board? > Are you suggesting to follow Arduino UNO, where they have replaced FTDI with a Atmega ?
