Checking my mail, and look whats arrived! Stencils for the next prototype batch of EX boards from @OSHStencils!

Thanks @TinyFPGA!

All the pieces are all here. so I'll whip these up soon.

I think this paste application will be acceptable. 🧙‍♂️

Next step, Placing 27 0201 decoupling capacitors. -_-

🤪

Lets see how this turns out after reflow.

👍

Time for the top!

I'm convinced Luke hates silkscreen, and pin 1 indicators 😅

Resorted to my mirror method to align this BGA during placement.

Time for the oven again!

Reflow looks good on the FPGA.

Due to the tight pitch, and to aid in hand paste application/assembly the FPGA and CSP packages were reflowed with only flux.

One assembled EX prototype. 😍

I just realised I placed these LEDs backwards -_-
