im sure they wouldn't mind ordering some extra for me next time

Yep

Buy MURICAN HOMEGROWN ILLINOIS TRUMP flux if you wanna do it right

I even ordered solid rosin once

im europoor tho

I've dissolved it in isopropyl alcohol, seems to work well but leaves a nasty layer afterwards

i spent big bux on a 200g roll of duratech 60/40 rosin core and i like never needed flux again

separate flux is useful for desoldering

i havent had much issue

I don't know

Never had problems with 2 lead parts

But I can hardly get desoldering braid to work

It works ok on the surface but doesn't S U C C solder from the vias

yeah now try 256 pin smd parts <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

I would if I had a hot air station

It's on The List though

im currently doing some research at work and it involved making some dev boards, which are basically STM32 mcu's with a 3 port switch onboard

several coworkers have already approached me asking if i can order some extra ones for their personal use

lol

ordered my knife last week

What use is a 3 port switch tho

@Deleted User What knife?

original knife by jufule

one of the ports is connected to the mcu, the other two are just regular magjacks

14 £

allowing you to put it in between another device

or chaining multiple together easily

ewwww @Deleted User

Is there any good chink solder

we will see the quality when it arrived

Chaining switches?

arrives

Something something switch table memory

chink solder is usually contaminated with random metals

also chaining switches is fine, what about table memory

The one at the top of the tree has to remember all devices connected to switches below it, doesn't it?

it would have to do that anyways

So won't the table get filled if you chain enough of your switches?

switches dont have mac addresses so no

and on this chip it can store 1024 entries anyways

Well you're the computer science man
