I have no problem with that at all. If they
DON'T WANT to, that's
fine. What I have a problem with is the knee-jerk reaction of "SMT ==
HARD", which is complete and utter bullshit.
I do agree with Dave. I just gave a "smd workshop" last saturday and 10
guys who paid to have a tsop IC soldered learned how EASY it is to do with
cheap tools.
Not everybody has access to a teacher as patient and as
learned as you.
For most of us, we've only had to learn by trying it and
In the age of the 'net and youtube, this is not an excuse. You have HD
videos showing the techinics all around, and there is always the cclist for
asking around. I'm here to help you, and I'm not dr. Sbaitso :)
There exists down the electronics kits aisle of
Fry's Electronics all
manner of doodads designed to make SMT skills easier to uptake >and use. If
it was so easy, there'd be no need for such products.
America is the land of "I'll take your hand for $9,99". There exists,
but doesn't mean it is usable or needed.
It's great you found it easy, and have the skills
to teach others. Don't
call "bullshit" just because you've found it isn't hard. Others
>have
found it hard, and you can't discount their experiences. You can, however,
figure out how to market the fact you've found it
easy, and I'd bet the electronics hobbyists and amateur radio operators of
the world would thank you financially for your help.=
He is so nice, he is giving away to you his help :)
