It took a quite an amount of email and phone support, even providing
complete working samples, until someone (very skilled at building
hardware) successfully reproduced the QL-SD. QL-SD has a much higher
difficulty level than the other projects you find at the forums. Nobody
else wanted to do it himself yet - for good reasons.
Peter, I don't want to be disrespectful, but I can't see problems in
soldering fine-pitch SMD devices. Of course the board will have to be made
in a professional setup (ever tried OSS and other chinese low-volume
suppliers? They make quite good boards for a very cheap price!) but I have a
smd oven with proper reflow curve, and I'm used to building panels of
devices with fine pitch SMD. This is what I do for a living :o)
I'm crazy to try it :oD
Thanks :)
Alexandre
