this is my first try to solder smd component not sure if if was a success or crash and burn

Items used:

- ADXL335 pcb sensors kits
- frying pan
- electric stove

pcb board pre-tin

align resistor and the adxl sensor

next step was putting the pcb on a frying pan, heat up the stove for 1 minutes (100c) when it start melting i crank the heat to 180c

I think i burned one of the sensor but good thing i got spare to try again

the result

will test it to see if the sesnor survive the "cooking" hopefully it does or i just burned a 6usd worth of sensor lol,

Prototyping multiwii board

Today my packages of veroboard with some header & voltage regulator arrived from cytron.

The project goal is to use the veroboard as a protoshield for my arduino mega 2650 that going to be used for my multiwii quad copter flight controller

Plan for multiwii board

- Use arduino mega 2650
- veroboard ans proto shield
- WII motion plus gyro
- ADXL345 acc ( auto leveling)
- BM085 preasure sensor (altitute hold)
- HCM5883 magnetometer (heading hold)

and gps in future when the code are mature, most part arr bought from local online shop such as:

cytron.com.my

myduino.com

and sensor most of them will be bought from ebay as there much cheaper!

more updates soon!
