 +We also can [[process_stencils|cut stencils]], and assemble boards with a [[process_reflowoven|reflow oven]]. We also have a few unsupported capabilities, including applying [[https://www.lpkfusa.com/datasheets/prototyping/promask.pdf|soldermask]] and [[https://www.lpkfusa.com/datasheets/prototyping/prolegend.pdf|silkscreen]], as well as a [[https://www.lpkfusa.com/datasheets/prototyping/ProConduct_Specs.pdf|chemical-free electroplating]] process, but again, your mileage may vary with these.

 +----
 +There's no such thing as a 'best' microcontroller. It all depends on what you want to do. Therefore, depending on your needs, one microcontroller might be more appropriate. For example, the fastest chips tend to use more power than the slowest ones. The boards with the most I/O pins are bigger (and usually cost more) than ones with fewer features. Below is a list of aspects to consider when choosing a microcontroller. For more information, click [[selection-guide|Here]]
