@lupyuen @PINE64 What type of solder did you use? I see rosin splatters and one side that looks nearly perfect. It looks like it was just the solder that failed to perform.

@lupyuen Perhaps I have a photo of my FPGA board that I decided would be my first real test of Silver alloy solder. Solder just acts odd at times.

@lupyuen @AmpBenzScientist It has always been somewhat daunting when I have to solder through-hole components. Soldering surface-mount components with paste and hot plate is actually much less stressful. Learning to use kicad was also totally worth it.

@tuv @lupyuen I did want to mention paste and a hot air station but I'm not the one who likey knows the melting point of the solder used on the board.

Pine64 did make the Pinecel. I wonder if they would make a hot air rework station.
