Re: Best way to unsolder the Nano?
|
I won't say it is the best, but what worked for me two times. Due to my fault while modifying the ubitx I had to replace the nano board.
I used one of the hot air rework stations that can be bought off ebay for about $ 60 . It has a hand held wand that blows hot air out of about a 1/4 inch hole. You keep moving the wand from pin to pin? every second or less. That melts the solder and the whole board can be pulled out at once.? Then I used a solder sucker to clean out each hole that had solder left in it.? Just keep the heat down so as not to lift the traces off the board.? It does take some practice as how to do this.? Look on you tube for many examples of using it with the SMD.
This is the one I used.? There are many sources for them on ebay.? Some from the US and some from China at many? different prices.
You get a hot air gun and a soldering pencil that has some fine tips to replace the nano.? While I would not recommend this for heavy duty work, it holds up well enough for just a hobby.? If it quits, you are not out much money and can always get another.
