Metro RP2350 take 5 🔄🌟🤞

Sometimes mistakes are made in prototyping; that's why they're prototypes. The error in rev D was funny: while making the QFN80 footprint, the pins got placed clockwise rather than widdershins. Not surprisingly, that board didn't come up at all, so here's a full rip-up and reroute, with the correct pinout this time! Fingers crossed. Hopefully, this is the final revision, and we can move on to other RP2350 boards we have cooking.

Why a Good Rework Station Matters More Than Most Engineers Realize

In electronics development and repair, precision isn't just a convenience-it's a necessity.

Whether you're assembling prototypes, repairing damaged PCBs, replacing SMD components, reworking microcontrollers, or troubleshooting embedded systems, the quality of your tools directly impacts the quality of your work. A reliable rework station can mean the difference between a successful repair and a damaged board.

One of the biggest challenges faced by engineers and technicians today is working with increasingly compact electronics. Modern devices feature densely packed components, fine-pitch ICs, and multilayer PCBs that demand accurate temperature control and dependable performance. This is where a professional 2-in-1 soldering and hot air rework station becomes invaluable.

The Bakon BK602S is designed to address these challenges by combining a powerful 90W soldering iron with a 550W hot air rework station in a single compact unit. This setup allows users to seamlessly switch between precision soldering and hot air rework tasks without requiring multiple pieces of equipment on the workbench.

For makers and hobbyists, it offers the flexibility needed for projects involving development boards, sensors, displays, and communication modules. For repair professionals, it provides the control required for component replacement, IC removal, connector repairs, and PCB maintenance. Educational institutions and laboratories can also benefit from a versatile workstation that supports a wide range of practical electronics applications.

The digital display enables precise monitoring and adjustment of operating parameters, helping users maintain consistent temperatures throughout the soldering and desoldering process. This level of control is particularly important when working with temperature-sensitive components, ensuring reliable results while minimizing the risk of thermal damage.

As electronics continue to evolve, having dependable equipment is becoming just as important as having the right components. Investing in quality tools not only improves productivity but also enhances the accuracy, safety, and longevity of your work.

This PCB is a simple carrier board for the popular ESP32-CAM we use with our gateway devices (xSense) to connect LoRa sensors (xNode) to the cloud. Boards are then enclosed into a Go-Pro-like case and wired to the xSense to take pictures of the crops at regular interval and publish them in the user account.
