So the boards arrived and I soldered one together (actually made two, had a minor brain explosion on the first one and put the FTDI chip in 90° out of position, oops!)
It almost works The PC recognises that something has been connected but can't identify it. Some investigation required...
Ignore the resistors, I didn't have any spare 0805 ones in the appropriate denominations, will be rectified shortly.

Easiest LiPo charger chip I've seen is the MAX1551 (http://www.maxim-ic....dex.mvp/id/4002)

I'm also using a 936 for soldering and so far I like it a lot.
What tips is everyone using? I only have a small pointed one so far and was thinking I should get a few more.
What has everyone else found most useful tip wise?
I have a general broad tip that I use for most work (including most SMD stuff even the fine pitch ones, good liquid flux makes it very easy) and a fine (0.2mm) point that I use for touching up or very fine SMD stuff.
Get the hakko tip cleaning sponge (the gold looking steel wool style) and you'll be set.

So I got round to ordering the PCB, and some FTDI2232D chips, so it will be interesting to see how it all works together...

I use a hakko 936, which has been discontinued, but the hakko stuff in general is very good.
