Thanks a bunch for this video. Just getting back into drone building after a long hiatus. Getting ready to build my first toothpick and this video was super helpful. I was initially intimidated by the tiny FC.

This is the best soldering tutorial I have watched so far Feel confident for when my practice board arrives that I know how to approach it Thanks

My granda (RIP) was violinist. She was terrified ones I used her violin rosin as flux. Basically the same thing. Miss those times tho...

Definitely some good advice I've been try for 4 years to learn how to solder and all my problems where the non lead solder and ones with flux in it. Now I know thanks

This is the absolute best video I have seen. Thanks, I learned a lot!

Really nice tutorial mate! Thank you for sharing 👌

Thank you, this is very helpful and professionally presented. The ending is very humorous too!

That's my goal! Lots of videos on the way geared towards people new in the hobby 🤘🤘 Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the video and advices!

Great tutorial! Thank you!

Learned last night that you need to use tip tiner to keep the tip from oxidizing and one it does the tip is useless but good learning experience and was confused why it wasn’t heating up the solder

Great lesson. Very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have that same soldering station, it's great!

Me too 😁

These small servo pads are a pain in the rear if there are many of them in a tight place😅 Is it just me?

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

This was very helpful, thank you! That "TIP-ically" bit made me lol

Nice tutorial💪, but you miss how to soldering xt60 to the Wire 😁 and to get out solder with Cob Wire😅

What is the recommended wire size to use , 16 awg, 22 …

What size off wire do jou need for soldering reciver ?

Hello sr, could work an USB solder 8w 400celsius with temp control?

I feel like my pads look good when i tin them, but when i go to put a wire on it sits on the top of it, rather than being covered in the solder, what causes this? Not lifitng up correctly once it melts?

@@nathanlane6490 I'm not entirely sure, I know I got a little better but I'm not sure what I was doing at the time. I think some changes ive made along the way are changing from 350 to 400, putting a small amount on the tip before hitting the wire, and maybe try coming in at more of an angle idk if that helps or not

Thanks so much. I want to do a little bit of soldering on a broken minidrone but don’t want to break the bank. Any suggestions on what would be an acceptable soldering station? Do I really need a display that indicates temperature?

@TRONCATFPV

I would definitely recommend one with an adjustable temperature. Once you get better at soldering, you'll like having the ability to adjust the temperature higher so you can solder a little faster 👍 amzn.to/3E7MCAY

So what’s going on if the tin doesn’t stick even if you use flux?

4:39 “I usually run at 420° Celsius” Nice

This looks like magic, I was trying to solder for 3 hours, spoiled 5 tips, temperature around 350-400 every tip turns black after few minutes, then solder doesn't stick to the tip. Also for some reason I cant get solder stick to some pads (ground pads), sometimes solder sticks but then I can't melt it again. I think I spoiled several pads on flight controller, they look dark and solder doesn't stick at all. Going to buy tip cleaner, more tips, practice board and try again...

I’m a Tig welder but have oddly never soldered anything . I want to try a drone but realized I have no clue how to do this part

Ggreat tutorial, if your aged or have big glasseslol messin with ya mine just feel big.and you can afford a n electronic microscope there awesome helpful like the bluetak! i tryed a wooden board but it was useless plus dont tell my wife where it went,lol i just sanded off my mess shes cool. peace.

420°C eh?

As someone who has done this a lot. In your intro. Your tip was pretty dirty and corroded. Clean and tin it well and keep it clean with tip cleaner! Otherwise looks great! If you notice your solder joint isn’t shiny and is dull the tip condition is why! Also make sure to use high quality 60/40 leaded rosin core! Kester is the way to go!
