13.37 HAX SMD badge soldering workshop - round 2 Feedback

!!!! 13 only - If you want to join, please enlist at https://pad.riseup.net/p/smdbadgesoldering !!!!

Surface Mounted Device (SMD) badge soldering workshop - screen printing solder paste, hotplate reflowing and various tricks.

According to some SMDs are tiny (they blow away when you sneeze), hard to handle (you can barely see them) and hard to solder (you can barely see them and the tip of a soldering iron is larger than the component). In this workshop you will gain some experience working with SMD components in a way that is much faster than manual through-hole component soldering for small series production.

You will use screen printing to spread just the right amount of solder paste onto the PCB right where it is needed, use tweezers to place the components onto the thus primed PCB and finally a hotplate to solder all components in one go, and, while doing this, learn various tricks to make SMD soldering more enjoyable

You'll make badge PCB to write your name on, with a microcontroller, some resistors, 40 LEDs, a battery holder and IR receiver/transmitter to communicate with other badges around you at a cost of 13HAX or 1 euro 80 for the materials, including batteries.
