This is really great video about SMD soldering using simple and cheap equipment that most electronics hobbyist can find at home. This 9 min video tutorial prepared by CuriousInventor includes up-close shots of fine pitch soldering such SMD elements as 603 resistor, PLCC< 44 pin QFP, 208 pin fine-pitch QFP. Also there are few SMD [...]
Have you missed a New Year party? Dont worry you can make it UP with these fun projects made of LEDs andother cheap materials. Joe Utson has compiled several LED and fiber optic projects the average Joe can create easily and get ready for the party. One of them is simple LED sign made of [...]
Florin from YouriTronics have taken a video where he shows how to make very simple WiFi signal reflector and this way increase the signal level to one direction. For this he used soda can cut in half. Probably everybody know parabolic antennas and ho do they reflect signal from focal point. If WiFi antenna is [...]
