My 2 are well on their way to completion, although one has now become ‘the runt of the litter’ due to my ability to order the correct number of parts! I found soldering the multi legged parts dead easy, using my microscope and a fine tipped bit on the JBC iron, and very fine lead solder with a bit of gel flux. I’m now waiting for the FPGA and some header sockets to arrive, whilst I’ve got some other bits arriving from Farnell and RS this week. Can’t wait to get it programmed and power it up for the first time!

Regards
Lloyd
