SMD 102 workshop - ATX breakout board or Molex breakout board 28th 7pm

This is a beginners SMD workshop. We’ll be using the paste dispenser to make a very simple but useful tool. The ATX breakout board or two molex breakout boards. The ATX breakout gives 3.3V/5V/12V from a PC power supply, this model also has a USB power output. The Molex breakout gives 5V/12V from the hard disk connector, it can be used in conjunction with the ATX breakout or as a way to get power from a PC.

The parts kit has been kindly paid for by a grant, please consider donating to VHS on the night.

People should have some soldering experience - the focus will be on SMD soldering, not soldering in general. All tools and materials will be provided. Please consider bringing your own soldering iron with a fine tip - it is easier if you can keep working with the same tool. Whilst anyone is welcome, first time SMD solderers are preferred.

Thanks for running this workshop, @TomKeddie! I had fun and the thing might turn out to be useful. :smile:

Thanks @TomKeddie … didn’t know you were collecting funds for a toaster oven. Put me down for $10, I’ll give them to you together with the money for the CAN bus transceivers.
