Again, step 1 is applying the soldering paste. This time I added some sticky tape too keep the rest of the PCB nice clean. [Adding soldering paste] Next, tracing out the indivitual pads. The pitch here is 0.6mm (trace + clearance = 0.6mm), so you need a fine blade and a steady hand for this job.

As so many on the net it's based on a small snack toaster. The toaster I've used is a Tomado TM-1265 (Just your basic made-in-china cheap toaster, this one was about €15,00 new 8-O). It's 7 liter and 650W (1 bottom and 1 top IR heater). Below a picture of the original toaster.

I decided to design an breakout board for the FT232RL and FT245RL from FTDI. These are great, easy to use, IC's which are able to simulate UART and FIFO. This breakout board gives the capability to give any project USB capabilities at a relative low cost as you can swap the board between projects (and breadboard).
