OpenVario preparations

Ok, so we haven’t started the actual soldering yet but still waiting for all the components. Hopefully we will receive the last PCB’s next week. We have also ordered the housing to be cut at a secret location…(a friend of a friend that have the machinery at work).

Right tools is half the job so I have to upgrade my old and cheap soldering iron. With a restricted budget I have decided to go with the 3 in 1 station below. Hopefully it will do the job!

I’ll let you know how this station performs, in case you need to upgrade your soldering solution before taking on a similar project.

Check out www.baumtronics.com – great service and good prices.

We will get back with more info as the project evolves. Stay tuned.
