    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.

    I wish I could have been so lucky. I am 26 and I just bought my first soldering iron on Amazon today, waiting for it to get here...I've been wanting one since I was old enough to comprehend electricity and batteries...I'm so excited. I dropped $250 to get EVERYTHING lol now I'm just here doing some research before I begin, and checking to see if I should buy any last minute things like a surgical knife and a scraper, small things like that. This is one of the most impulsive purchases I've ever made, as I woke up this morning and thought (not for the first time) "I should learn to solder." But I feel like its going to be one of the most impactful on my life as well.

    @@general_prodigy Hi there! Thanks for checking up on me! So far I have fixed a whole bunch of fraying cords around my house and for family and friends, and have taken apart and cleaned my friends' controllers, etc. My friend also had me change out the EM10 filter on his DS, turned out to not be the problem, then I switched out the charging port and it worked again! That was a huge win for me :D I think my personal favorite so far is this, I took an old fan from my old pc, and soldered it onto a USB cable for my PS4, and it keeps it nice and cool. Its surprisingly strong. I also use it for clearing the air when I use lead based solder.

I was struggling to solder headers to a i2s DAC until I saw this video ! The key for me was to understand that - Soldering iron needs to be at a higher temp than solder’s melting point and - Using Soldering Iron to touch the solder pad hole on pcb along with header for 2-3 seconds before bringing the solder ! Just the perfect and First Video to watch for anyone trying to learn how to Solder ! You guys made my day and I did my first ever perfect solder and now listening to awesome music on 3£ i2s DAC connect to my 17£ Raspberry Pi ! Awesome and Kudos Again !

    Most electronics solder comes impregnated with flux . Used to be 5 channels up the core as I recall. Read up. As for extra flux though, yes, I used that technique on surface mount builds and quad pack, micro bga placement, but that tends to be hot air placement .

I've been doing some basic mods on old Game Boys but have been reliant on stuff you can just drop in and out, meaning I can't do a lot of cool stuff because it involved soldering. This has given me the confidence to go ahead and look at getting my own basic soldering set up. I won't necssarily be doing fancy stuff like populating entire PCB's, but I need to be able to solder wires to junctions to power them and change old coin batteries in game cartridges that have died.

When we're learning, it's easy to think solder is like hot glue... and when our circuit doesn't work, we can't figure out why because bad solder joints can be super hard to spot. If you follow Chad's tutorial though, you'll never have a bad solder joint ruin your project.

    I'm so interested in soldering. As a female growing up back in the day, we were never given courses like "shop" or auto mechanics. We were taught sewing and homemaking. But I've always wanted to learn. I heard somewhere along the way that you need different types of solder for different metals. Is that true? And if yes, what are they comprised of and how do you know which metal takes which solder?
