Joke
From Embedded Muse:
Hardware and software people sometimes have trouble speaking the same
language. Phil Matthews came up with a solution:
We had an experience recently where a software engineer couldn't
solder a 10k resistor on to a circuit board. In fact he flatly refused
to as he said "I'm a software engineer, not a hardware engineer!". It
took a bit of explaining, but we got there in the end.
Take your soldering iron object and set the temperature property to
about 300deg. If you don't have this build tool, then create an
instance of the soldering iron class by borrowing one from a hardware
engineer. Remember, the soldering iron object goes on the heap of test
equipment. Derive an instance of a solder object about 100mm long from
the solder reel class, preferably one with 3-core flux property.
Create instances of resistor classes and wire classes. You may have to
expose the copper interface of the wire by stripping the insulation.
Now that you have all your components and build tools on your desktop
hardware development environment, it is time to statically bind the
components to an instance of a printed circuit board. Apply the hot
end of the soldering iron (the end that doesn't have the cord coming
out) to the component and then feed the solder in. The solder will
inherit the heat property from the iron and melt. Once the solder has
flowed into the joint remove the iron, stand back and admire the
instance of assembled circuit board class. This new class inherits all
the properties and methods of the components that were added to the
base class of blank circuit board.
