Thanks, now I know how to solder! :pDid you edit this with a VLab Motion Amiga?
how many hands have you got there?Good skills and a good friend helping you :-) ohh... and i understand why theres no audio in the vid
You must have three hands to solder like that.
Hi,@Vlabguy1,I usually have someone else hold the part in place on the board, that way if I burn a finger it will be someone elses. (My wife is really good at this and has had her fingers burnt several times, and no she is not blonde).smerf
There is no doubt that the components and wires I solder get very hot. Sometimes to the point where my finger/s can't stand it but I ignore the pain as much as I can.
I always slab some some solder on one side first, re-heat and attach, then do the other side. No fingertip burns, and no need for a 3rd hand. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWeAOemTY_E(Not my vid, but the same technique as me)
