Yeah, noticed that it didn't have the best reviews. Some on Amazon with good reviews and solder suckers for slightly more. Just looked and the one I have is only 25W.
You can if your other half will let you. Need a nice flat bit of steel to put on the hob though to ensure even heating of your board (hobs normally have ridges)
I've not tried it myself, but looks interesting - you apply solder paste to the board and line up your components as best you can and then let heat and surface tension do the rest :-D
Sounds like fun. I don't think I could do it on my gas hob without a plate to sit it on :) I think I could have some fun with this stuff if I had any idea what I was doing. Really want an Arduino but no idea what I would do with it.
Get one and selection of components and follow some beginner tutorials. Once you get an idea of what sort of things you can do you'll start thinking of projects.
It's like Pixar! I wish it didn't make such a racket. Could you imagine the bitching you'd hear if you woke up to take a piss in the middle of the night? The whole house would be up because my dog would freak the fuck out and bark at it.
