   @inmysocks where did you get the stencils from?

   How are you btw? Everything alright?

     the silver square part has 8 leads on the underside, it is about 2mm x 2mm and the soldering worked.

     Unfortunately the light sensor needs an amplifier, and the amplifier for the microphone is doing something weird so it doesn't work, but I used really cheap components because this is just a test run to see if I can get soldering with stencils and paste to work well. The temperature, humidity and barometric pressure sensor seems to be doing just fine and that was the most important part.

     Solder paste is magic and far more forgiving than I expected.

     It pulls the components into place and pools on the pads.

     Just like 'don't mind me, I am just some grey goo' and then suddenly 'BWA HA HA HA!!! I AM METAL THAT GRABS YOUR COMPONENTS AND MOVES THEM INTO PLACE!! FEAR MY POWER!!'
