Well... stuff like, don't having to worry that *that* circuitry works, the
possibility to program it, make +5V and to decrease the soldering as much as
possible(when ported to a project),
I guess you are very well trained in soldering & your 300$ high-end
soldering station makes it prolly even lots easier.

However, mine cost 20$ & my skills are.. well, not to talk about heh. Sure,
I can train soldering, you could advise any newbie to go train soldering for
a few weeks & then come back to the PIClist asking their thing, if still
interested, but I wouldn't be, for sure.

That's what I'm thinking about.


Best regards.
Geert.
