You probably know more than me when it comes to soldering but I suggest using rosin. It puts the heat in the right place.

The first time I used it to test it, it worked, and l was extatic. I thought I had found a soldering iron that I could make small electrical repairs that was short lived. Two months later, when I really needed to use it for a project, this piece of S#%& would not heat up above 78 degrees. What a waste of money, oh and Amazon, and the manufacturer were useless to help correct the problem. I didn't want my money back I wanted them to replace it with one that worked, no luck. DON'T WASTE you money...👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Welcome to the electronic side of things! I wish you a great journey ;) Great video, thanks for your time making it. One tip maybe, for a quick video about soldering you wouldn't need ventilation or fume extractor. It doesn't do any harm if you do it now and again. So don't worry. Even if you use leaded solder, which I would recommend for hobby use. Solders way more easy and fine for hobbyist like us and that way you can ramble on during soldering. :)

You can reprogram Pinecil.. So, if you don't like what it's doing, then change it. You can also buy other shells to customize or repair it. My only complaint, is not being able to run it from a 36 or 48 volt battery. Well, guess i can't have everything.

something similar with cheap and widely available tips??
@GerdKnops Жыл бұрын
Some tips: - For DIY stuff don't use lead-free solder unless you have to. Harder to work with. - You had the temperature set too low. 320ºC for leaded solder is ideal(higher for lead-free), going up to 340-350ºC for larger contact areas. Don't leave it on higher settings for regular soldering though, that causes oxidation and the flux evaporates too fast. IIRC the Pinecil has a "turbo" setting to briefly raise the temperature.. - Your solder looked a bit on the thick side, that wicks too much energy away. For regular electronics 0.5mm diameter solder is a good compromise

"For DIY stuff don't use lead-free solder unless you have to. Harder to work with." Kids, this is REALLY BAD advice. Don't listen to this man (probably the reason why he's giving bad advice is due to the lead poisoning). Use lead-free solder unless you want a disability placard.

@@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi- The temperatures used in soldering are not high enough to make leaded vapor. The smoke from soldering is largely from the rosin flux. If you're in a well ventilated room, there is no need to worry about lead poisoning from such a small interaction. If it makes you feel better, wear some nitrile gloves while handling the leaded solder.

@@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-he not wrong I use lead solder for keyboard switches because if I need to remove a switch it's way easier to desolder lead solder compared to lead free because of the higher temperature is needed more likely to burn contact pad on the pcb.

when soldering never push down hard on a PCB with the soldering iron per comment in 9:18 that you can't push down. It should just be a light pressure from the iron to the work piece. if you are pushing that hard down, then soldering technique is maybe incorrect.

@@lostincircuits talking about the part in video where you said if you push down hard your hand can slip down to get burned. not sure what the screw thing is about, maybe someone else confusing with my comment here. easy to get confused between comments sometimes. if someone is pushing down that hard that they slip down on portable iron. screw issue, got me confused here. to be clear, it's about safety issue you brought up worrying your hand would slip down too much and get hurt. I have several portables that are shape of small markers. they are all about the same this way. just lightly touch pins, not sure why people would be pushing down that hard with a portable iron. I also have some really old irons that have huge guards on them to block the hand, but they just get in the way of soldering, and can't see as much on the PCB. I'd rather not have guard on a portable iron so more visibility and can fit into portable places and smaller carry case. look at the professional expensive irons too, like JBC . no guard it is shaped like a pen so there is nothing to block the hand from slipping down either. I think it's more a feature to make soldering easier.
