element14 Presents | Bald Engineer: James Lewis' VCP Profile | Workbench Wednesdays
When it is time to rework a board with surface mount components, you need more than a traditional soldering iron. Learn how tools like Weller's WX-series can be used to remove parts from a board quickly and easily. See how the Bald Engineer uses hot air to rework circuit boards he has made in the past. He also repeats one of the first electronics hacks he ever did. |
