- Correction: I say "solder paste" at the beginning when I mean "flux".
Drag soldering a 100 pin 14mm MAX II QFP on a PiStorm 600 PCB captured directly from my microscope's camera.
JLCPCB assembled most of these boards, but the MAX II chips are pretty rare at the moment so I manually solder these on from a pre-existing stock.
Tools used:
* JBC CB-2BB iron with a C245-965 1.9mm mini spoon tip
* SolderKing 30cc flux in a Metcal dispensing gun
* JBC PK vacuum pick and place
* Kester 0.4mm 63/37 solder
* Wiha 7a tweezers
* AmScope 3.5X-90X Trinocular Boom Stereo Microscope with 144-LED Light and AF USB Camera - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I got my pistorm600 from Retro Ready today, its very cool. Thanks!
Very nice job, + very nice video. Well done 👍
Very professional. Thank you for Amazing video. 👍
HELP! I'm becoming strangely obsessed with microsoldering. I blame my new JBC.
PS: you said you use the 1.9mm C245965, but I was told that was a bit small so was just about to buy the 2.3mm C245067 (bent spoon). Which do you think I should get?
Cheers
I have no experience of the 2.3mm, so I can't really advise. But I do really like the 1.9mm one. I also primarily use a 2.0mm spoon T210 tip on my JBC B-IRON.
@@linuxjedivideo Thanks for advice keep up the great work - from Australia
Great 👍 Which Flux did you use? Where do you get the microscope or screen while soldering
Thanks!
The flux is this one: kaisertech.co.uk/solderking-halogen-free-rework-gel-30cc-syringe
If you mean physically where the microscope and screen are on my bench? See the Microscope section in this blog post: linuxjedi.co.uk/2022/01/30/soldering-workbench-tour/
I think I might have to get a concave tip myself ! Only small niggle here is you said "solder paste" when you meant "flux" :)
LOL! Good spot. I didn't realise during editing 😄
I was wondering where the heck you get transparent solder paste from.

BEAUTIFUL!! I'm in the UK. Are you selling these?
These are being made for Retro Ready (retroready.one/) who is also in the UK. They should be for sale on their site next week.
@@linuxjedivideo excellent! I have now traced the whole supply chain. Can't wait!!!
Are you doing all this whilst looking at the monitor for the microscope?
Yes, I have a 22" monitor in front of me which is what I'm looking at. My eyes aren't good enough to eyeball this :)
@@linuxjedivideo I bet. Whose eyes would be good enough for that?! I've been trying soldering whilst looking at a monitor but depth perception is suddenly way harder and I end up with burns over my fingers.
@@atomnetton I started with an old binocular microscope (probably older than me) and eventually upgraded to this. A binocular scope may be the way to go so you have depth.
@@linuxjedivideo yeah maybe. And I'm only doing guitar pedals, nothing as small as a pistorm!
Are these going to be on sale on your website?
@@atomnetton no, I'm making these for Retro Ready (retroready.one/), should be available from there next week.
Nice' seen a fair few 'fubars' trying to do this job' ( more bridges than holland ) lol ..........
I’m confused are you only using flux? Where is the solder ?
You say solder paste but it looks like flux
@@Black_Myth679 I am using flux not paste (I corrected this in the video description).
This is a spoon shaped soldering iron tip so I'm collecting a small ball of solder from some solder wire inside the spoon before dragging each side.
@@linuxjedivideo Either you're really skilled, or those spoons create the most beautiful drag soldering. Or both.
@@catharperfect7036 I'm going to say I'm just using good tools 😁
