Hi,
I've been lurking around here for some time and decided it was about time I asked a few questions myself :)Phil.
I've managed to get consistent single sided PCB's using Press n Peel, a GMC laminator and ferric chloride. However, when it comes to soldering LQFP's, I've been using pre-made LQFP to DIP adapters ( pre-tinned ). I've started to do small SMD resistors and capacitors, but I'd like some advice on the easiest way to solder LQFP's.
Every video I've found, the pads are already tinned.. Based on my own experience, if I attempt to tin the pads with solder by hand, I'll make a pigs ear of it.
I'm interested in how you guys do it?
Thanks in advance,
