MOTM

DIY surface mount soldering is ripe with potential for disaster! Unless
you have a great magnifier, small tip and skinny solder....not to
mention steady hands.

I looked into reflow soldering a few SMT ICs on a new design due to
space considerations. They basically want a bunch for setup and solder
paste mask. It was going to be $10-15 a board in 100's. Cheaper after
the NRE is paid off. This is probably the best way to go for a partially
assembled kit. It also gives Paul a leg up on the assembled ones....
