Hi Folks,

Up until today, I've been fairly successful in soldering SMD parts for
my prototypes but it looks like I've got a short in one of the QFN32
parts.  How do you place them?  I guess my hand shook a bit when I was
placing the thing and now one of the Vcc pads are shorted to a GND pin.

I've managed to get the 0603 parts down without much problem but this
QFN32 part is tough.  I've placed the ATMEGA48 (TQFP package) and it
soldered fine.

I'm looking for some suggestions/words of wisdom on what other folks
do for their prototypes.

Thanks,

Richard Cooke
