Tiny black circuit board Heap of boards Lighting up 16 LEDs on black PCB End of Life 7 decade resistor board 7 decade resistor board Machine assembled 0805 dual colour LED Twice the fun! Tiny stuff Propped up Generations Generations ATtiny13-MMU adapter ATtiny13-MMU adapter Short-term energy storage 14mm button - 0402 parts 18mm button - 0805/0603 parts Close up of the pins All sides done Left side done Tacking down the ATmega168 ATmega168 RGB LED Current limiting resistors Bypass cap. + autoreset capacitor 10k&Omega RESET pull-up resistor Finished front side - The Spider is waiting Tantalum cacacitors Voltage regulator Finished RGB LED Tacking down the RGB LED 390Ω 91Ω 110Ω 10kΩ Ceramic capacitors - 100nF Ceramic capacitor - 10µF Tantalum capacitors - 10µF Low drop voltage regulator Step-down converter Reflow mishap? One through hole part My first MOSFET ever Almost looks like a little car SMD RGB LED - failure mode SMD to the rescue DMM A/D A heap A pyramid Mons capacitivus Where's the beef? Application of 'glue' Too much 'glue' ? Adding the magic goop Solder paste - a bit too much Lifetime supply of 100nF caps Find the bug! Awww... so cute! 10µH 1.83A inductor TQFP32 vs. MSOP10 Dead RGB LED Where do I get an X-ray machine? Yes... it is TINY! 0402 LED - Phew... New parts - enough for 3 boards. Dirty little suckers! WHAT was I thinking? Wrong choice of footprint TC33X2-202 ChipQuik to the rescue We have parts too The first and probably... Hotplate SMD reflow He's dead Jim! Workplace EDSYN FL-22 paste flux A strange game... Jyetech - replaced ATmega64 ChipQuik SMD rework - dead chips
