Hey, I am pretty new to SMD components. I was wondering how to solder pins under the p1 module. Is there a way to check if the contacts have been made. Thanks

You need to reflow solder the P1. If you’re desperate (eek!) you can do this in a toaster oven (been there done that but dont recommend it). I know of no practical method to check the contacts other then running a test program in a burn-in environment. And even then if you have soldered the device …

These inexpensive reflow ovens (around US$220) are fine for hobby use and way easier than trying to use an oven, skillet, or other crazy DIY techniques. I have one and it works fine for soldering P1s. Or you can use Seeed Studio Fusion PCBA . They carry the P1 in stock in their open part library so…

@rickkas7 offers great advise. I would like to throw into the pot of ideas that you can use a Infrared Rework Machine as well. Having owned that same oven he suggested i found that it pales in comparison to what you can do with the IR device. That particular oven gets hot spots in it. If placing …

Ah the T962, I’ve got one as well. It does need some mods to make it work though. Certainly without the new firmware its a gamble every time you stick something in it. Additionally, the airflow through this oven is not at all even and requires tinkering with the fan/mechanics to improve. I use it f…

@seulater had a clever soldering method in this thread: Designing new E Series Board - Can I hand solder the 1st few prototypes?
