Really honored to be able to help. Thank you for using me as a reference!

Wow that's pretty steep must of been a magical cloud or something ha ha haTotally take your spin on it !

Thank You for the catch!Sorry about that not sure what the issue was but I posted the code and also linked my github where the same file is (^_^)https://github.com/nemesiscontreras/glowCloud

Definitely I'm mostly very impatient and want instant melting -however not always a good idea! Yes having a low airflow helps a lot expecially when the component begins sliding around. Have you tried to use silly putty/tape to hold down the component? I've been told it works wonders

Thank You!

Happy to Help ^_^

Thank you Chris! Would you recommend any nice quality affordable skillets?

you're welcome!

thank you for the catch! Added the fix :)

Definitely give it another go!

you're welcome!

Hey Wush !Did you use the sudo command to access the file? Sudo just tells the pi you are the super user that has access to any file.sudo nano config.txt?

Happy to help Dean would love to see pictures of your build!

Just like you do, I placed the component on the paste and then applied heat.

Thanks Phil !With any SMD soldering I prefer to use solder paste because it's just so much faster than using a soldering iron.Thank for the tip! I always like to read the chip's data sheet to check the max temperature ratings. As well as using the low air flow control of my hot air tool.Nice, I've used my oven as well : how did you modify yours? Would like some tips to have a reliable SMD oven !

Thank you so much! I'm very glad the videos helped I will do more instructables with videos then .

Thanks for the catch!

Thank you! I agree plus smd soldering is always seen as such a scary process but it's really fun!

Thanks for pointing that out!I've tried to use GIMP but was turned off by the GUI just seemed too messy

Thank You!

You're welcome I like to make write ups to get suggestions like yours!Thanks :)
