The IMU is the only thing that requires hot air. If you check the project Github it’s got a full soldering guide of what needs to be soldered, but it’s all meant to be done with a regular fine tipped iron.
Sorry it’s slightly off topic but can anyone recommend a soldering station around the £35 mark?
I’ve just used university ones in the past.
A Weller 40W would probably do well, or stretch up to a TS100 for about £45-50
hey mate, is that still possible to get 3 of these or am i too late for the party?
100% I’d say that the TS100 is probably the best newbie (not to say its not a capable option) Soldering Iron out there. The tips are easy to change and find. As well there is a huge community out there for them with mods/accessories that are all open source and or cheap to do.
I had a cheapo Soldering/Hotair station (Something like this). Moved to a TS100, Hakko FX951-66 and a Quick 861DW.
edit: reference and clarifying
Im also using the ts100 for everything smaller than awg12 / xt90
@Holbanner
Sure, just tell me what you need to be soldered and i will add you to the list.
Cool, do you need the IMU soldered?
Yes, please.
Ok, will you solder the MOSFETs yourself?
I think i’m gonna need to grab 2 kits @doomy. I can do any soldering that only requires an iron. awesome work you are doing here bro.
Ok cool, so i just solder the IMU.
Theres already no more units left for batch 2!
I’m going to order now.
Do you have the dimension of it
How large are they
60mm x 120mm x 14mm according to the original thread
Its now only possible to order 30pcs with SMD assembly. I will either need to panelize or order 2x30pcs
So until this is solved i can still add you to the list.
I’d like to order 2 of Cheaper FOCer 2 board kits (if there’s still spots in batch 2), I’m in Ireland so i can Revolut you the payement. Cheers
I have just ordered 2x30 PCBs its a little bit more expensive but not too much.
So there is space for 10 more orders.
I’m also going to order screws and spacers so i could add them to your kit.
Yes, I will
