Watch a comprehensive video tutorial demonstrating the complete PCB hand assembly process, including the placement of an FPGA in a BGA package and reflow soldering. Follow along as the presenter guides you through each step, from stencil alignment and paste application to component placement using a custom-built vacuum tool. Observe the precise positioning of TQFP and BGA packages, particularly the Artix 7 FT256 FPGA. Learn about oven setup and the reflow process using a T962A Reflow Oven with improved firmware. The tutorial covers key stages such as stencil alignment, pasting, vacuum tool usage, TQFP and BGA placement, board inspection, oven setup, reflow, and final inspection. Gain insights into PCB and stencil sourcing, and see how a fish air pump can be repurposed for pick-and-place operations.
