I was not sure if this forum was exactly the right place for this topic but the document camera I am showing in this video is really a benefit to any of us trying to work on old computers with equally old eyes. I was in fact surprised by how well it works.
[FONT="]In this this video we take a look at repurposing a second-hand document camera for soldering surface mount circuit boards. While these cameras are intended for projecting documents in classrooms and board rooms, we’ll see how this $50, 10+ year old model works for surface mount PCB soldering.

[FONT="]We’ll solder up some surface mount boards which use mid-sized parts and then inspect out work. Then we will also take a look at a through hole board with very tight spacing to see if we can spot the problem it has. Finally, we finish off looking at a modern surface mount board that uses very tiny parts to see what they look like under the document camera.

[FONT="]Can we use an old document camera for SMD work? Join in as we find out.
