hey can i use hot air gun and can i destroy the chip when im usin hot air gun when the temp. is 300°c for 10 sec ???

What did you use to hold the chip after it moved (when you tried to zoom in white paper)?, looks like a window sucker.

[linuxgeek81]

@anglitoestebancito A vacuum pipette. The chip would be far to hot to touch it like that after desoldering anyways, would burn your fingers ;)

aaaahhh this is the video i was awaiting. Thanks Michael for the kept promise!

I wanted to see the hot air station - couple of weeks back you promised and finally i was able to watch it in action ;)

Thanks man!

[linuxgeek81]

@Flankymanga You're welcome ;) I didn't show this for some time because I haven't had a tripod, which makes it a litt;e awful.

@llewgnal I have a name, you know.

@llewgnal In this case, it's low end. But still good enough for a number of purposes ;) Paid about EUR150 for the station.

Nice :) any chance on more AVR stuff and perhaps some dev embedded systems?

[linuxgeek81]

@krizem Sure, I've got a new and serious AVR project coming up.

[krizem]

@linuxgeek81 Cool i'm just mucking around with arduino's at the moment but building and programming from scratch so much more appealing. look forward to you new vids and welcome back :)

[linuxgeek81]

@krizem Yeah I built an Arduino board and almost instantly dropped it after that. Anyways AVR controllers are not hard to handle.
