Hi,
Hopefully this is being posted in the right category - here goes...
After expending some effort to convert a toaster oven into a solder reflow oven I'm now considering how to test/tune it. Yet I'm unable to find suitable test boards, with stencil, components, etc. So, I'm going to look to design up a couple of boards and batch produce them if there's demand. Thus to the question: general level of interest for such a kit?
The cost would be minimal'ish - that's the point, particularly if they'll be junked - let's say $15-20 with everything (although I haven't run the full numbers). Bulk ordering should make this possible.
I have a couple of designs in mind: a 'junk' test board with sample components, but otherwise doesn't do anything. Then a design or two could also serve a useful purpose, of course assuming the reflow works, e.g., a bidirectional level shifter board - 5.0 V to 3.3 V - or whatever (I'm always looking for one of these and have to order it from Sparkfun or whomever).
Thoughts?
(For the record, I did find a test board from Beta Layout -
http://www.beta-layout.com - but the shipping was EUR20 for a EUR14 kit. Definitely defeats the purpose. I would just be posting anything, which is significantly cheaper.)
