Review: Brilliant - I've been soldering through hole parts for many years, thinking that SMD was best left to factories with specialized equipment. Working through this kit made me realize that soldering SMD by hand is not only feasible, but actually faster and easier than through hole in my newly-formed opinion. Completing this project was fun and meditative and now I have confidence in this skill and am eager to apply it to a project. The kit has a smart design. Your first 78 parts have no real penalty for mistakes because they are not part of the final "light show" circuit. Yet there are still some basic test points for these areas so you can check your connections with a multimeter. You start with 1206 size components (0.12 x 0.06 inches), then move to 0805, then 0603 and finally 0402. As you would expect, it gets progressively more challenging. After all of that practice, comes the LED blinking circuit. These are all 0805 components which should feel pretty manageable after finishing 0402. A schematic is provided but I never needed it - the board is already marked with what goes where, including the polarity of the LEDs and diodes. I did use the parts table to determine which part values to use. It's also useful to know how to read a SMD resistor code (e.g. 473 = 47,000 ohms). I experimented with a number of different techniques and tools and suggest you do the same, below is a small account of my experiences: Soldering Iron vs Paste + Heat Gun. Between these, I preferred a soldering iron with a small chisel tip. For the paste I was putting it on with a syringe and trying to fix it up with a toothpick - it looked a bit sloppy. For the larger components, it all worked reliably and components "magically" flowed into place. At 0603, about a third of the parts didn't settle correctly and needed corrections with the tweezers and heat gun. At 0402, about half of the parts needed corrections. I think that a solder mask and reflow oven would be quite a different (better) experience here but I don't have either of those. For the soldering iron, I prepped the area with rosin fluid (Kester 951) and held the component in place with some high-quality tweezers. I put a very small amount of solder on the tip and touched the pad, then the corner of the component for less than a second each. I never needed to use the solder wire directly on the board, which is great because I was already using both hands. After doing one side, I put down the tweezers, rotated the board and did the other side in the same way (touch the pad, touch the component side, done). I then went back to the first side and touched it with the soldering iron for another second or so for a finishing step. It takes longer to type this than to actually do it. You can also batch the work by doing one side of a bunch of components, then doing the other side in a followup pass. USB microscope vs headband magnifier (Donegan DA-4). They both worked but I preferred the headband magnifier for several reasons. In short, the headband magnifier was more comfortable to use, the "real" 3D image was nicer than the 2D LCD image and it was nice to easily see where my tools were as I worked. I found the 2x magnification on the magnifier was plenty enough for every case except the 0402, where a little more would be nicer. Silicone work pad. I recommend using one because these pads are heat resistant, and make it easy to see the tiny SMD parts. I placed the board right on the work pad while soldering. This allowed me to use the table to support my hands and keep them more steady during the work. Multimeter. My multimeters will light up an LED in the continuity testing mode. I used this to spot check the LEDs as I installed them, placing the negative probe on the "-" pad at the bottom center of the board and the positive probe on the resistor that is associated with the LED. The correct resistor can be discovered using the multimeter or by looking at the traces under the soldering mask.
Review: Wonderful kit for experienced electronics buffs looking to move up to SMD components - Provides all parts needed to construct the kit, plus spares of the most fragile and losable parts. Includes instructions in English; however, they're somewhat cursory, neglecting to mention the needed power supply (9 volts, supply your own connector) and providing little detail as to which parts go where. (You can figure this out from the bill of materials, which does not provide component markings, but does indicate how many are needed and the size of the component. Some logic is required, as the capacitors are unmarked.) This isn't a beginner kit. However, if you already know how to use your soldering iron with through-hole components, you are familiar with electronics in general, and you want to learn about SMDs and practice soldering them, this is a very good kit for the experienced hobbyist. To succeed, you are going to need the proper tools, which obviously aren't included: A soldering iron with a very fine tip, appropriate solder (eutectic lead strongly recommended), a good set of very fine tweezers, and good magnification—preferably a stereo microscope. That's the price of entry for hand-soldering SMD components. The kit includes a number of resistors and capacitors in 1206, 0805, 0603, and 0402 sizes. The 0402 capacitors are about the size of deer tick nymphs—large grains of sand. You start by soldering rows of components, from the larger size on down, gaining skill and confidence as you go. You can then move on to using those techniques to build the light-flasher circuit in the center of the board, which uses a 555 timer and a 4017 decade counter. The center-circuit components include LEDs, transistors, and glass diodes. The reverse of the circuit board includes a handy reference, including SMD component and pad sizes, circuit trace widths, and rulers. I found this kit to be vastly superior to Elenco's SMD kit in terms of helping me master the techniques needed to hand-solder SMD components.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great soldering tester - not so much on component identification
*by P***N on December 19, 2018*

This set comes with a piece of paper describing what goes where - if you're lucky. Or you can use the online description on the link provided. This will tell you the important part of the center components that makes the leds light up in a sequence - the type of component and HOW these components are put on the board is important, but don't expect a lot of help here. So besides practicing your soldering skills, prepare yourself for learning how to identify basic components that are so small that having a microscope will be helpful! In particular, you should learn about diodes and how to identify their direction. NOTE - to me this practice board uses non-standard markings for the diodes - the WIDE line isn't the line from the diode symbol where + is - it indicates GROUND. On the other hand, this also allows you to do a bit of diagnostics if you cannot get it to work. Here's what I'll recommend you do - first order the component types without breaking them out of the tape they're in. Know what will go where. The good news is that you'll get a few extras for most components. Once organized, open ONE at a time, and solder them to the board. For the diodes where how you mount them on the PCB matters, use your multi-meter and use the diode tester. When you have a forward voltage, you now know what's negative and positive on the LED/Diode. Be sure to mount them like that where the negative is positioned where the thick line is on the PCB. I use a hot-air system - I find it easier than a traditional soldering iron on these small components. Just be sure to set the blow rate and temperature so you don't burn things off, or blow them off. To me, this is what this board is great for - getting skills soldering small SMD components so you can home in your iron settings, solder type etc. I use solder paste, which means I can "stick" the components to the board before heating and the paste holds the component in place. With a small tweezer I can hold the component while heating the paste - this seems mainly necessary on the first ones before the paste starts melting - as the melting point is reached the component is most often pulled into place by the paste - if you don't over-paste. Then use the test probes to be sure all components on the sides are seen. Start with those non-functioning lines, it's easy to test stuff and if you mess up here you can still make the led lights work. As you lay out the components please pay attention that one of the resistor packages are meant to be used inside the circle. You can recognize it by having more resistors than the rest - or look up the size and check your paper to see which resistors to use in the middle. So don't solder this type on the test strips on the outside. Or you'll have to desolder them to move them later :) All in all - the guide could be slightly better but it's not bad. It's good practice and gives you a fun little light show when you get it all right.
