Useless Statistics

2002-12-10 by sucrosemusic <sucrosemusic@yahoo.com>

I was reading the previous posts about soldering issues, and noted in 
particular "after you do 1000 of these..." or something to that 
effect.

Are there any stats written up for the various modules, specifically 
the numbers of certain parts (resisitors, caps, transistors, etc), 
but more importantly, the number of overall solder joints?

I forsee an incredibly useless PHP or javascript-based web-app that 
lets you plug in your entire setup ala the MOTM order page, but 
instead of giving you a price at the bottom, it shows you the total 
number of resistors, caps, diodes, transistors, ICs, pots and jacks 
that you've used, and most importantly, the total number of solder 
joints you've completed.

I, for one, like bragging to my friends about the number of resistors 
in my MOTM-320, but then again, I am also crazy.

(Also, given these statstics, I could *probably* apply my weak PHP-
scripting skills and write up a page to do all this, though it might 
be more suited for javascript, which I don't know)

Sorry for the vaguely-on-topic-but-pointless bandwidth.

This is easy. Look in the manual! It says right there how many parts. And you know how many leads
(1 solder per lead). Assume about 22 vias/board and you're home free.
