I guess we must have pretty high-quality equipment in the lab. Have a nice trip.Yeah, in the same corner as well, again, from the same guy, we have the complete BS estimate for the cost of the required equipment.![;)]( "Wink")
Which to break it down would be:Cost of DA9091, 50p. Cost of equipment to fit component, £1500. Cost of someone capable of using equipment £350.
Cost of using a rubbish power supply that kills the pi due to being out of spec? Cost of new Pi.
~100£ - high-tier soldering iron station
~150£ - high-tier hot air station
~100£ - decent camera microscope
(optional) ~350-400£ real stereo microscope
~20-30£ - consumables (tweezers, solder wick, solder wire, flux)
In the most expensive case, that would be about 800£...
With his budget, I can either equip two workplaces or equip one and go for a week to Italy
