minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink2•2 years agoAh ok. I was worried about using to much, guess I over compensated. No flux, just resin core solder; was contemplating waiting until I get some, but I am nothing if not impatient.
minus-square@pno2nrlink2•2 years agoHold on, hold on… Did you do all the components? I was just looking at the pins. Top of the board looks fantastic.
minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink1•2 years agoLmao! Thanks for your confidence in me! No, I did not do the top board, just the headers. Man I wish I could have a first attempt like that.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 years agoI’m an amateur, but I found a jar of flux and laying it on real thick made for much better soldering than rosin core solder. You can never have too much flux! Just wipe off the excess when you’re done.
