I've been thinking about doing this as well, because after countless hours of reading and watching videos and trying to solder with the same / similar gear as in this video, I have yet to "convince" any solder to stick to a pad on a pcb, let alone marry a component leg with the pad. Spent 4 more hours on it a couple days ago and came away shedding actual tears of frustration and feeling like soldering is some kind of hoax 😅So far all the videos I've watched and forums I've read, soldering "just works", and any discussion of troubleshooting quickly devolves into arguments over technique and equipment, or talking about it like it's esoteric witchcraft.

@@chriskaprys you most likely have either dirty pads, or you don't heat them enough. You have to use flux to clean them and you have to make sure they are very hot, otherwise the solder doesn't stick.
@semod86142 ай бұрын
@@chriskaprys If in doubt, add flux (in paste form). You can't have too much flux, as long as you clean it with Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud after you're done soldering. Pros might frown on that sort of advise but there's no point in torturing yourself, especially if you're a beginner. STIRRI ASM-TF is a great flux and is cheap and comes in a syringe. Make sure it has not expired as flux pastes over 2 years might be too hard to work with. Make sure you're in a ventilated area and put a fan next to your soldering spot as flux is not good for you (even you like the smell).

To start i have been soldering for 16 years. Built many kits, wired in head units, and lots of in betweens. Had to teach myself everything and had many bumps and discoveries before i understood the do's and do not's of soldering. I think this is a great video overall 95% perfect. I would only advise against snipping the ends of tinned wires. Once your wire has been soldered it keeps the oxidation of the metal at bay and the resistance it can cause in a circuit. I would just run the iron across again to get any excess solder off and flick it into a container. I also would not wrap/twist wires that way as the standard twist can cause strain at the base and makes it harder to add heatshrink and keep things tidy especiallyif you have multiple wires and limited space. I would use the NASA method that way you have a solid mechanical connection further strengthened by the solder and it lays flat.

Great video! By far, my #1 tip for soldering beginners, is to use flux for every joint. It just makes soldering so much easier! Even though the soldering wire comes with a flux core, I've always found it helpful to add extra flux. It makes the solder flow much better, achieving a much better joint!

@d614gakadoug9 Жыл бұрын
NO! A thousand times NO! Sometimes extra flux is a big help, but if you use good cored solder and have developed good technique it is rarely necessary. It makes a big mess. One thing you need to do with cored solder is learn to feed it to the joint so that the flux "leads" (goes ahead of) the solder. I was watching part of a "don't do this" soldering video a couple of days ago and the person consistently fed solder so that the first thing it contacted was the molten solder on the tip. BAD! You want it to contact the things being soldered first, only just touching the tip.If you do that the flux spreads and flows where it is needed. This error is also apparent in this video too - the solder hits the iron first, and sort of slops down to where it is needed. Poor quality solder can have voids in the flux core which does make getting good joints very difficult without using additional flux. I used to use Ersin solder which had three or five separate flux cores. Ersin became Multicore and was acquired by Henkel. I do like a little extra flux, as a low solids content liquid, for tinning wires. It penetrates well among the strands and can make tinning go much faster. I have on occasion applied flux to an entire board. This has usually been on boards with unusually heavy copper and/or thick laminate, where getting good fill of the holes is difficult.

Great. This will be my goto for teaching the kids. My only suggestion would be to match the tip size to the gauge of wire or mass of the 2 parts you are trying to solder together, especially using the newer "no lead" solder. I find you need a much bigger tip to solder those big LIPO power wires to the FCs. Otherwise the big wires just suck the heat out of the smaller tips too quick. And then there's those super tiny pads on the tiny whoop FCs...gotta use a tiny pointed tip for those or the solder just goes everywhere. Also for the tiny stuff, I use a stiff piece of wire positioned over the board to rest the iron on just behind the tip so you have more stability to keep the point on the right spot. With the boards getting smaller and smaller every year, my latest soldering tool project has been to make a board holder on a 3D printed stepper motor controlled positioning stage with a tiny robotic arm soldering iron. Got the positioning stage built and working but still trying to make a good tiny soldering iron with a heat resistant FPV macro cam for us old people who can't see those tiny pads anymore.
@d614gakadoug9 Жыл бұрын
Yup. Matching the tip to the work is important for efficient soldering. I have quite a large collection of different sizes from long slender finely pointed ones to short, heavy "screwdriver" types. Good tips can be a bit expensive, but if you treat them well they'll last a long time. Some of the ones I have but rarely use are probably well over three decades old.
