Raspberry Pi Pico DVI Sock!
Building a Pico DVI Sock using surface mount soldering. In this video I take you the process I used to build a DVI sock using solder paste and hot air and a solder stencil. Despite the very fine pitched components it all worked out. Note that I found plugging this into the HDMI input of a monitor works better than plugging into my older monitor with an actual DVI input.
