To start off, huge thanks to PCBWay for providing the pcbs and stencil free of charge for this project: pcbway.com
I wanted to update my micro usb arduino pro mini clone I designed a few years ago to use usb c so in this video let's learn how to stencil, paste and reflow double sided boards at home using a hot plate and a hot air gun. This method is perfect for making your own prototypes and small batch runs quicker than hand soldering.
If you'd like to make your own from gerbers, purchase pre-made boards, or just want the design files to modify for your own project reach out to me via email the place an order: sjm4306@gmail.com
