Please can you put me down for 1 @doomy?
I’ve done a tiny bit of soldering before, I feel like this could be a fun challenge!
I gather wires not included, so what AWG wire is required?
Great that you will do a second batch after all the hard work.
can you specify which smd parts still need te be soldered if i take the basic unit?
How small are they and how many?
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.
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.
