The Beginner's Guide to Soldering
Today I wanted to talk about the beginners guide to soldering. Soldering is a fairly important concept for those who want to fix electronics or make their own PCB with limited resources.
Have Circuit Design in Mind
Have a circuit design in mind. Then test it on a breadboard and multi-meter before starting the soldering process.
Wear Safety Equipment
Wear safety equipment and make sure to use helping hands when soldering. Use a solder tip and soldering iron and solder each electronic part piece by piece. (Always keep in mind it is best to solder on an anti-static mat or wear safety/anti-static gloves while soldering to not ruin the electrical components).
Solder the Ends
Once the tips are done, solder each end point of the circuit then get ready to test your board. If you made a mistake, you can always use a solder pump or desolder.
Desoldering
If all else fails, Adafruit has this wonderful desoldering guide
