Is anyone else here a turtle today?
You bet your sweet a** there is!
I'm (actually, getting back to the thread) a
quasi-turtle. I'll stuff three or four components in a
group, then
In the Your mileage may vary category.
I have found 2 advantages, for me, with the group method:
1. Working in groups I have found that the position I want to fill already
occupied by another component of the same group.
2. I can solder leads in a spaced pattern so that I do not heat the
In reviewing the K2 manual prior to ordering/building
I have noticed that there are several
instructions to install a 'GROUP' of components then
solder and trim the leads. Wouldn't this lead to
missed solder connections or cause a less than
perfect soldered joint. I should think like 'THE
TURTLE '

My experience as well. I had missed a few if I placed too many at
once. I tried to do no more than three (e.g., resistors) at one time
prior to soldering. Double-check is a must.

As you can see, you're in good company with a lot of
I am one of the Turtles too. I also made sure I
selected the right component by checking it three
times before I put it in the hole. On resistors, I
actually measured the resistor with a meter to make
sure my eyes were not deceiving me. A magnifying
device is a MUST! I limited myself to three
