The Unofficial Mac challenge: A1370 board from hell, make it charge ( 820-3023 )
136So why am I so cranky in this video... so many reasons;
1) AVR is not explicitly Arduino; many years before Arduino consumed the scene there was no problem coding AVRs with C as it was originally intended.
2) I get cranky at people who don't wait to see the outcome, or learn the context before lobbing their corrections / "suggestions" ( "you're doing it wrong, do it my way" mentality ).
3) 99.9% of the time I've already gone through what you think I've already missed -- if you have to ask, word it in a way that provides the opportunity have it indicated that it has been done or thought of previously and you probably won't get your head bitten off.
4) It's really frustrating when you've done the code before, misplaced it (yes, I use git but sometimes you just misplace stuff). Still, was a good chance to refresh again.
For background, from about 2005 to 2012 I was manufacturing electronics and towards the end was producing most things with Atmel AVR uCs.

▶ Boardviews and/or schematics? Check out Google; try search for something like '820-00165 boardview badcaps.net'
▶ I use suppliers such as Element14, Farnell, Digikey, Mouser, RS, AliExpress and eBay and a LOT of searching/checking. Undertake your own due dilligence.
▶ YES - I can do custom programming variations of my software to suit your equipment but it will be expensive (certainly no less than $1k USD) because it takes longer than expected and there's always "just one more change".
▶ NO - I do not offer training or jobs
▶ NO - I really cannot answer service/diagnostics questions
▶ NO - I do not do paid reviews; you can send stuff but I cannot guarantee I'll use or like what you send.
▶ Hot air settings: 8mm straight nozzle, 450'C @ 110lpm for laptops, 420'C @ 50lpm for phones ( YOUR environment, method and equipment will be different, so your values will be different )
▶ Soldering iron temperature: 400'C on Hakko FX951 with JS02 tip using 0.015" 63/37 kester solder
