Chaos Communication Camp 2011 Abstract: Mitch Altman has taught well over 10,000 people to solder and make cool things at workshops around the world. Drawing from his experiences, this lecture will show you how to create and give your own successful workshops about what you know. We all know something that others can benefit from, that others want to learn. A workshop is a gratifying way to share what you know with others. One of the reasons for the increasing popularity of Maker Faires, hacker conferences, and hackerspaces is that they all provide workshops. Workshops are not only fun, but they work. They incorporate learning-by-doing, a very effective method of teaching, learning, and sharing knowledge and skills. They also make use of the community that forms during the workshop, where all participants become available to help one another. Creation within community is a very compelling combination that we can all make use of and enjoy. This is what a successful workshop is all about. In this lecture Mitch Altman will share what he has learned from his experience giving workshops around the world for the last few years. Although he teaches people how to solder and to make cool things with microcontrollers, what Mitch has learned about giving workshops is applicable to giving a workshop on just about any topic. Topics included: Choosing an objective that can be accomplished in the allotted time, including setup and cleanup. Choosing a topic that is appropriate for a workshop format, where all participants can create something. Making the workshop an enjoyable process for all. Building confidence and enthusiasm that will be shared with others during and after the workshop. Making your workshop appear effortless and easy to the participants. Preparation needed before planning the workshop. Taking your workshop on the road.

Flux generally makes our lives easier. It’s the best bet when trying to prevent solder bridges with fine-pitch components like you see here. But it is also indispensable when it comes to desoldering components from a board (we’re talking just one component without disturbing all of the others). But have you ever looked at what it costs [...]

We try to stick to the 0805 parts because they’re still big enough to solder by hand. But [Scott] shows us that it doesn’t take too many special tools to reflow fine-pitch components at home. In this case he’s using 0402 resistors, a footprint that we consider functionally impossible to solder using an iron. The two parts [...]

Solder Your Pin headers Straight If you’re worried about how to solder your pin headers straight, why not try this simple trick and put them into a breadboard before soldering? Etiquette for Open Source Projects If you use or develop open source projects, it’s worth checking out [Phillip Torrone]‘s Unspoken rules of Open Source article. [...]

[Joel] of [Helion Microsystems] is at it again with his USB controlled solder reflow oven. You may remember him from his crazy twitter-enabled Ewok model. Although these two projects are quite different, they both use the HU-320 USB breakout board that he’s in the process of getting funding for via [Pozible], or Australian Kickstarter for [...]

We’re kind of surprised we haven’t covered this concept before since it only uses techniques that are commonly avaialable for home PCB fabrication. [Ray] made this solder paste stencil out of a sheet of copper using the same etching techniques you would for a circuit board. He designed and printed a resist pattern, with toner [...]

There’s a ton of devices out there that have batteries in them but most people never think about it. That’s because they use rechargeables that are sealed inside and topped off with external chargers. [Todd Harrison] has a couple of them, including a cordless shaver and a Christmas light timer. He’s had these for years [...]

[Sebastian] needed a small solder oven so he bought himself a small toaster oven (Spanish, Google Translate). It’s not the kind of thing we’d make our breakfast in now, but for soldering it’s a very nice oven. After a little bit of research on Google, [Sebastian] discovered that the best technique when dealing with reflow [...]

For SMD work, solder paste and a heat gun is great. Heat guns aren’t the cheapest thing, so [Karel] decided to make cheap reflow oven out of a toaster oven. With a PCB taken from a laminator temperature control board, the build was fairly successful, so [Karel] decided to add a thermistor to his oven. [...]

Indestructible earbuds We’re still waiting for our [Lt. Uhura] style earbuds. But until then, can we interest anyone in a set that will stand up to some abuse? Solder Pot Scavenger [Felicitus] says we should get a solder pot and use it to scavenge for parts. His method looks pretty easy and it’s cheaper than buying a [...]

[John] got a shiny new solder paste dispenser for a steal, and before he hooked up the tool, he decided to take a look inside to make sure everything was on the up and up. Aside from a few questionable wiring practices he didn’t approve of, everything else looked to be in good working order. [...]

Drag soldering works exactly as its name implies, by dragging a bead of solder across fine-pitch pins you can quickly solder an entire row. The method relies on clean joints, so liquid solder flux is often used to make sure there is good flow. But if you’re drag soldering on boards that you’ve etched yourself [...]

[Erich aka VK5HSE] performs quite a bit of solder reflow work, but has always been concerned about bumping his circuit boards once the solder has liquified and is ready to be removed from the heat source. He says that removing workpieces from toaster ovens often results in the unintentional jarring of a circuit board full [...]

The application of Solder Paste is an essential part of short run manufacturing and prototyping. After getting back bare boards from a PCB shop, its time to get down to business and populate those boards. This new tutorial set assumes you have access to things such as stencils for your boards, but does mention a [...]

[Scott] over at curiousinventor.com has posted an instructable detailing how to use an Arduino and a power drill to spool solder. The Arduino senses the speed that the drill is going via an opto interrupter and a laser and adjusts with a servo hooked to the trigger. While we don’t think many people will be [...]

Take a few minutes to watch this amazingly informative video on how to solder QFN or MLF components without solder paste. The quality of the video and the information within is quite nice. Even if you don’t intend to work with these parts, you could pick up some tips for soldering with hot air.

Do you have access to a laser cutter? If so, you can use [Riley Porter's] method to cut your own solder stencils. He starts with the Eagle files and exports the Dimension and tCream layers to a PDF. That file is then processed using Ghostwriter, Gview, and finally, Corel draw. The result is a 1200dpi [...]
