This is a meetup to get acquainted with our surface mount technologies at Makerspace.  This meetup will be part demo and part hands-on workshop.

Mike Teachman will be stepping through the surface mount build process, mostly with hands-on steps:

- demo of making solder paste stencil on our Universal laser cutter

- applying solder paste to a circuit board using the laser cut stencil.  This part is hands-on.  All participants will get to apply solder paste to their own circuit board.  Thanks to Sean @procrock for supplying us with circuit boards

- inspecting your solder paste application using our electronics microscope

- attaching electronics components to the circuit board using our manual vacuum pick and place.  This is also hands-on for everyone.

- inspecting you pick and place work using our electronics microscope

- baking your circuit board in our new reflow oven, the Controleo3.

- inspecting the final product using our microscope.


In the end you will get hands-on experience to build what is essentially in everyone's mobile phone - a circuit board populated with surface mount components. Except the parts we will work with are a manageable size.


No previous electronics experience is needed as we're not designing any electronics circuits.  I figure we can have a max of 10 members.  I don't know if anyone is interested in this, but sign up here if this sounds interesting.  It's a free event. 


There will be snacks, too !
