This is not my best work but it was my first real experience with the Silver alloy solder I had just bought. Some joints look okay and others look like I was intimidated by the amount of heat that I was using.

@lupyuen @AmpBenzScientist It has always been somewhat daunting when I have to solder through-hole components. Soldering surface-mount components with paste and hot plate is actually much less stressful. Learning to use kicad was also totally worth it.

The #Ox64 #riscv dev board (and a Pinecil) showed up today from Pine64. Will have to give it a try tonight. Excited to play with hardware again.

@lupyuen Perhaps I have a photo of my FPGA board that I decided would be my first real test of Silver alloy solder. Solder just acts odd at times.

@lupyuen @PINE64 What type of solder did you use? I see rosin splatters and one side that looks nearly perfect. It looks like it was just the solder that failed to perform.

@eqe @yeti @lupyuen Gowin FPGAs are working but it's very strange to see Reverse Engineering on a device that should be open by definition.

@realcaseyrollins @niclas @freemo Tell them to get ready for pushups until they can do no more. Exercise has a positive effect on behavior and they learn the basics of rechanneling their emotions.

@lupyuen @gbraad Seeing it when it was released made me feel physically ill until I saw that it potentially had real T-Head cores.

It seems as with most things from BL, the BL808 needs some perspective added to make sense of what is going on.

You have made their products usable from the first time I encountered them. There is no other person who is fit to do what you do.
