You might be wondering about the lab is at work that I've been talking about. It's just a little room well set up for working on electronic projects. It's rarely busy and I've always been able to get a good hour or so of work fit into my day here and there. The soldering iron they have is awesome, it heats up in an instant and is really nice to use with swappable tips. I was surprised it didn't have a volume control to set the heat, but it appears to be the perfect temperature anyway. If it did have a volume control, it would go to eleven.The magnifying microscope type thing was also super helpful for dealing with surface mount components.
You can find a larger picture of that and some pictures of my completed RxTx board in this gallery.
