@vincenthernandez7819 3 жыл бұрын

awesome project but i have a questio. if you had a hot air station, why on eart would you use a soldering iron to remove the components?

@RestoreTechnique 3 жыл бұрын

I was concerned about heat damaging the tiny board with all the components close together. I've heard of people damaging their pi zero from just soldering the GPIO pins for too long. I've since seen other people use hot air for desoldering on the pi zero, without any heat masking. So I think I was too cautious, and will use hot air next time.
