Workshop Itinerary

We will assemble and solder the TicTacLights Nano Colour kit together. No prior knowledge of reflow soldering is required, but a steady hand (go easy on caffeine!) and good eyes are useful.

The steps we'll go through are:

  1. Apply solder paste to the front board with a stencil
  2. Place the 144 LEDs on the board one-by-one, using tweezers (this can easily take a couple of hours)
  3. Solder the LEDs on a hot plate
  4. Apply solder paste to the back of the board with another stencil
  5. Place the microcontroller, capacitors, resistors and other components on the board one-by-one
  6. Solder the components with a hot air
  7. Repeat the same steps for the 2nd board (with far fewer components on it)
  8. Test and debug the boards (this can take until after midnight if there are many problematic boards)

Registration

To register for this workshop, please buy a kit at the BlinkenArea assembly as early as possible. Only a limited number of kits is available.

If you have any questions or would like to see an already built TicTacLights Nano Colour first, please visit us at the BlinkenArea.
