The HAWK is all through hole.
The AtomaHawk has SMD and I put
those on myself so you put the easy through hole parts
on.
So yes, you do the
'easy' stuff.

I guess my first question is
the surface mount chips I see upon the atomic hawk and maybe
the hawk,,,
are they attached prior to shippping?
then all the user does is ribbon connector,
diode,resistor,chip holder?

Hi
Charles,
You can't
barge in here. So don't worry about that.
I am the
creator of the HAWK kits. If you need help. I am right
here.
Or you can email support@....
It's difficult to know how
experienced someone is with a soldering iron, especially
desoldering. So removal of IC29 and the EPROM socket is
where some people go wrong.
If you have a desoldering
workstation then removing the EPROM socket and IC29 is a
piece of cake. And owning a desoldering workstation
basically means, you know what you're doing. Using
desoldering wick and or a solder sucker makes the job a
bit
more of a challenge. Unfortunately, it's the
inexperienced that only have desolvering wick or solder
sucker that usually get into trouble. Some people have
also
had problems just soldering the HAWK board itself. This
is
usually people that have soldered some wires before but
have
never done PCB work. Cold joints are the most common.
When
someone runs into trouble, the first thing I do is ask for
a
photo of the HAWK board solder side and the solder side
of
IC29 and the EPROM socket. Then I tell them to redo the
soldering on the whole and that usually clears the
issues
up. I have very few problems though. The vast majority
of
HAWK installers have no problems at all.
But, I had to write my warnings on
the web site just to make sure that inexperienced people
understand what they're getting into. And that it is
entirely their responsibility if things go south.
I love
the Poly so much that I offer a ton of help when people
need
it. It's just another charitable thing for me.
