Using a Solder Stencil

 Last night, my friend Shreeyam from Rocket Team and I began populating the second revision of the data acquisition circuit board. Shreeyam designed the board in KiCAD, a popular design software for circuit boards. I had originally learned how to use EAGLE but it seems both software packages are fairly ubiquitous.

We used a preheated to bring the board up to temperature after placing the solder paste and components.
