The Kester rework flux link brought up a whole lot of auto parts, no flux.
Hi VOB,
Nice “Direct and to the Point” Video. Well Done.
Learned quite a bit there, especially the hints on soldering to a pill.
Thanks.

Ouchyfoot to a New Member: Welcome CJ. Now you have to learn about buying an inexpensive flashlight and modifying it until it either blows up, or starts small fires on the moon…………

I, too, once lived a tragic and empty life. Then I found [portable] light.
You forgot to mention clothes. I sold most of my clothes to fund my light collection. This is actually fine, since I only go out after dark, and most people can’t see me.
Finally, I got my priorities straight.
A lot of effort in taking that video. You saved a lot of people from soldering frustrations.
Hi Matt, Excellent Tutorial!
Do you know the link in OSHPARK for this Driver @ 1:00 ?

I also tried to find this pcb at oshpark, but I did not find it. I found this driver (not pcb) here
Of course, I could have overlooked this project. Maybe it’s on the oshpark
kiriba-ru S2+ and S21a spacers are available in EU. PM me. A few details here
The PCB is Purple, So it must be somewhere on Oshpark

Btw they could order a board for their needs. They did not have to share it.
Btw2 I’m not a specialist, but for me it looks like a normal mosfet driver without an AMC
kiriba-ru S2+ and S21a spacers are available in EU. PM me. A few details here
True
to be honest I Didn’t want to order the Driver from oshpark, I Just wanted to look at its Circuit

Thanks for posting the video vestureofblood! Lots of great tips in there. Heat and flux are certainly key for good soldering.
I’d rather use my flashlight around the house than turn on the lights.
Thank you for the tips!
Hi all,
I don’t have a link for the exact mosfet design you seen in my shop because I have someone make those for me now. Back when I was assembling them myself this was the board I used
The last batch I ordered I tried the 2oz traces, but doing this means you get a pcb that is only half thickness for some reason. I would not order them that way again
