Default Re: Hedghog standards converter

Having a go at the faulty ones I have received, (some from same source as Semir) they all seem to be suffering the same issue which is very poor solder mask having been applied.
In all cases a build up of solder paste behind the pins of the FPGA, all the faulty ones I have received are now fully working after using flux and a dry soldering iron with the board held about 45 degrees vertical, this seems to help the solder to come forward from behind the pins.
Anyway, all happy now.
