making this work. This is a hole in the current maker arena. A
barrier of sorts. Making boards with surface mount components
is not the most friendly and requires special tools and skills
to be truly effective. I realize some do it, but this can
knock down the walls of those not interested in investing time
and money into learning surface mount techniques. There are
still some issues to contend with and that is quality of
components and assembly. If you receive the device and it does
not work, then who is to blame? Designer? Assembler?
Components? Unfortunately, this will most likely be the risk
of the purchaser. I can tell you that we required significant
tools and skilled personnel to resolve those issues in
manufacturing. Still, I think the risk for many circuits will
be reasonable to take chances.</div>

where this goes.</div>
