The likely orientation of un-soldered sm components when hand soldering.
Upsidedown
Somewhere across the room
Upsidedown and across the room*
Stuck to your tweezers.
Stuck to your solderingiron
Stuck to your elbow.
Stuck to flux on your pcb, then upside down when moved.
In plain sight on your pcb, but can't be found.
^above & upsidedown.
Lost. **
Lost and upsidedown* **
*pure conjecture no one has ever seen this.
** properly Lost, not recently seen travelling at speed
One thing you cannot explain to non-programmers is that feeling when you have spent hours and hours finding/fixing/programming a specific problem, then you finally get it to work.
That feeling is what drives us. Shame it's 20 to 1 , pain to euphoria.
@Extelec Oh I had this. When I responded the company apologised for the delay and said my kit was on the bench being assembled as we speak. When I responded to the second how did we do, I was told that the components for my kit had not yet arrived in the country. When the third how did we do came in, I asked them to tell me now they thought they were doing. They refunded my money!
