SMD soldering using the sun.

it works astonishingly well. the trick is to de-focus the spot and light up the whole PCB. first we failed by heating the metal plate underneath with a highly focused spot. but that led to accidentally burnt PCB spots at corners and didn't melt the paste.

it works so much better than using a hot plate, so I officially declare it state of the art as of today.

To whom it may concern: I created a fork of NeoPixelBus on codeberg:

This version fixes the timings for the WS2816x LEDs on the esp32 RMT peripheral. The default timings used for the WS2812x don't work reliably.

I am currently at #sks2026, so if you want to see some ws2816 in action feel free to hit me up :)
