Re: [Gumstix-users] Baking the gumstixs

[Felipe B. C. <cav...@gm...>]

I've actually "baked" other components in order to prepare them for a
special hot-air soldering process before. Most of my components survived,
but I did lose a few of them (namely, a MEMS accelerometer - but my MEMS
gyros survived just fine). I've also seen a few components which weren't
baked explode when exposed to the hot-air.

I've actually seen this procedure being recommended in a few datasheets as a
humidity control procedure - however, I would definitely not recommend on
trying this unless you are willing to lose a board in the process (the PCB
and some sensitive components might suffer).

Hope this helps!
