RE: WP34S USB and IR board now available!
I have just soldered one of the kits myself and now have a couple of thoughts that I would like to share:

a) A colleague asked what I was doing, so I explaind. His commet was: "Are you really sure you want to sell these as kits?" So here is a word of warning: The board contains small components. Especially the FTDI chip and the micro USB connector are tricky to solder for people without experience. So please only order when you know what you are doing.

b) If you are still not scared away Smile make sure you solder the USB connector close to the edge of the PCB. Otherwise you might have problems plugging in the cable once the PCB is installed.

c) Install the IR Diode once you have drilled a hole in the calculator for it. That way you will get the legs the right length.

Cheers,
Harald
