you can solder parts like that with an ordinary soldering iron, i can show
you how. It's not hard. Do you have a PC board made yet?
I'm assuming you have two or three chips per board. If you have like a
dozen chips per board you might prefer to do it with stencils, which you
can cut from transparent folder covers (thesis binder cover) with a laser
cutter. Then once you have the solder paste in place, you put the chips
on with tweezers and rest the board on a hotplate for 60 seconds.
the other option is to dispense the solder paste with a 3d printer, like
this:

So there's this chip that I just gotta have for a
project I am working on. The only problem is that it seems like EVERYTHING in IC form now
it packaged in these
teensy little surface mount chips. I don't have a small enough soldering iron and
I'd rather not hassle with trying to make it work with my shitty equipment.
Wondering if sudo or Noisebridge is set up for a solder reflow oven with an accurate
temperature control? Also, I am not totally clear about how I create a
silkscreen soldering setup for a given PCB design. Does anyone on this list have a lot
of experience with this?
Thanks,
