It is very hard work and with multilayer boards and surface mount components it is not really a hobby for me anymore, maybe with AI it can be again?


Ahem. For you or for the AI?


Yes.

I guess I walked right into that one.

In this case it’s not AI that helps its full service board fab and assembly shops like JLCPCB. It’s so cheap to order fully assembled boards there I don’t bother assembling mine at home anymore. Bonus is you don’t need to mess with tiny components. You can put a 1x1mm 4 pin BGA on there and they will happily solder it for you.
