Hiya', EEVbloggers - newbie here - my pursuit of obtaining the necessary materials for developing my skills for serious electronics-work, has finally led me here. (I wanna' make motherboards for computers)
Unisolder 5.2 seems like the only way someone in my economic situation can ever (I'm about to enter long-term sick-leave) hope to obtain a quality soldering iron. Plus, it's just cool...
Anyways, I have some questions which I haven't quite been able to figure out yet, after checking youtube videos and reading here and on the Dangerousprototypes forum:
1. How many LAYERS does the pcb have? Is it merely two? 4? I can't see anyone mentioning this, anywhere. (yes, I admit it, I haven't looked at the gerber files yet)
2. Is it plausible that PCBway could manufacture the pcb for me, with their free prototype program? How much does one get, when it comes to their capability? What dimensions, how many layers, how complex, et c.
3. Is it plausible that Unisolder could function reasonably well with the tips from PACE ADS200? This has been asked in the past, but no one seems to be quite sure.
4. How does the compatibility actually work here? There's a list of multiple tips and manufacturers which are confirmed to be working - but is that just "PLUG AND PLAY", or does that mean that someone has created complex firmware-profiles for these brands, to make Unisolder work with those tips?
