0.65mm-pitch 28-pin HTSSOP hand-soldered with zero flux given.

Feeling quite pleased with myself for that.

#PCB#PCBA#soldering

@amcewen for the soldering or for the pun? :)

@Floppy @mdales this 😀

Also exceedingly pleased that the board it's on is fully functional, but that's down to @huffeec's chops

@amcewen @Floppy @mdales

...and we're all going home relieved we didn't need to hand solder the 0.4mm pitch filter chip.

@huffeec @Floppy @mdales shh, we haven't worked out what we're doing about the 0.4mm pitch variable capacitors on the NFC board yet 😱
