Vacation Lessons: SMD, c'est fun!

On the same electronics note, I had a chance to try some SMD soldering. I've taken my kid on the trip to an electronics store, which meant I'd inevitably have to buy something for him. But his choice was surprisingly good! An Xmas tree with blinking LEDs, SMD-style. It was a rare case of mutual agreement.

Soldering these tiny elements was fun. Lesson learned: I need a desoldering wick and a smaller soldering iron tip. So here's the end result, look at the quality and enjoy a good laugh!
