From the project
Simple PCB to get first experience in SMD soldering, using the Linux brand character "Tux" as example.
Inspired by a small SMD tutorial of a local hackerspace, we took the Linux brand character as a basis for this Badge. Thereby we want to give first SMD experiences to interested by a simple and straightforward example.
