Does anyone need a MyStat PCB and is based ln the EU? It's probably useless to most people who donct have an oven and advanced SMT soldering skills. Anyways, if you're interested, I can send one over for free.

I was also thinking about buying 15m of Tygon Chemical Tubing at a european distributor (I got the wrong tubing twice on aliexpress) and then selling it in small quantities to the community. Anyone intersted

Public and private chat groups/PMs now possible, though I don't think it's encrypted if that's a concern (we are hosted by NodeBB).

Is it not possible to enable the chat plugin in nodebb or some private chat plugin if that exists? I had one other situation like this already.

Let me know if you agree and I'll proceed.

@danielfp248 @kirk you as maintainer of this forum, any idea how to exchange PN or email addresses?

I have a bunch of components for a previous mystat version plus the boards, I could send them your way if you're interested in them too. In any case, keep us posted on how it goes!

You can pretty easily get them on digikey or similar

yeah, I usually order at RS; there will by some way to get them.

What's your equipment and experience with soldering?

I'm using an ERSA i-CON and Weller 1010 since "some" years. Soldering of small footprints will be done by soldering below a Bresser 3D Microscope. I do not have a reflow oven, so the BGA will be a challenge but should be possible with my hot-air soldering station as well.

When you solder this by hand some pieces have really short contact points, so it is very hard to figure our where you have shorts.

You are absolutely right you have to be very careful. But I also manged to turn the 0-ohm resistor on the ESP32-cam to use the external antenna.

You need a REALLY steady hand and some very good soldering equipment. When you solder this by hand some pieces have really short contact points, so it is very hard to figure our where you have shorts. I got some magic smoke 😑

The rest of the parts could potentially be soldered with a classical soldering iron if you have a steady hand. What's your equipment and experience with soldering?

If you still have one left over...
