I once clipped a resistor on a uniden bc200xlt scanner in order to receive cellular signals. I was also kicked out of devry technical institute twice

i have done all, except the milling one because i don’t have CNC at home :frowning:

My vote was for, “I have drawn and etched PCBs at home.”.

I have also done point-to-point soldering, at work for prototyping, and at home for hobby projects.

And let’s not forget hand wire wrap for work.

As a kid, I only had parts and supplies to spider wire my hobby projects.

I’ve been an electronics technician for 20+ years component level troubleshooting
production, test, and debugging circuit boards. I live under a microscope most of the day doing 0201MM, hot air, through hole and SMT, BGA rework, etc.

The hardest part I had to deal with was an $800 356 ball count BGA using lead free solder. The engineer was always screwing around with the profile on the rework machine leaving it unusable and not telling anyone. I would find out installing a chip and watch the the machine perfectly place it then squish down instead of releasing and bridge all the balls together. Fun times.
