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,

Cere
