Hi!
I just got my GM5 chips and boards (Thank you, Thorsten!!), and while I’m a long time electronics DIYer, I’ve never done SMD. I’ve looked at several tutorial pages and videos on the web so I’m ok with the techniques and I have an old PC motherboard I’m going to experiment on before I touch the GM5 kit.
BUT I realize I have to get flux and very thin solder and when I went looking on sites for these I realized that there’s many different kinds of each. For example Digikey has all these types of fluxes and many different types of solder (lead-free, water-soluble, rosin activated, solid wire (no flux), etc…
So what should I use for SMD? Perhaps better: what are you using?
Thanks for any tips!
Steve
