Hey tosterboy, how small are the leds? I know I've had luck with SOIC-8 packages which, frankly, I thought were going to be a lot more difficult. If that happens to be your package format, sparkfun sells some adapter boards. The other option for you is, (again you'll need an adapter board, really) is get some solder paste, and you can use a toaster oven as a reflow oven.

The first set of pressure sensors I got were exactly as specified, 1.6mm x 1.6mm... it's just that I didn't realize how small the contacts on the chip would really be and I am a noob with soldering. (us comp sci guys rarely touch actual hardware). It would be cool if there's an easier way to use these, but if not they were only about $1.56 each so no big deal. I do have a toaster oven.

Anyway, I got a different Honeywell sensor with a hole mount and leads that are big enough for alligator clips, so it will be much easier to use. (and I won't have to convert readings in bar into psi with the new one I got).
I think I'll install the sensor into a pipe cap so I can use a pipe T and nipples to adjust to different tubing in the future. I can get a second T and hook up an analog pressure gauge also. I have a spare gauge from when I built my pressure pot for resin casting.
Please explain to me how to...
