I've begun soldering my 50$ robot circuit board, and it IS HARD! How serious is it if I mis-solder? Can it be undone? solder sucker or braid Is it possible for the soldering iron to be too hot and damage the circuit board/electronics? depends on which soldering gun you have I soldered some of my DIP 28 socket thingy that the microcontroller goes into and the insides of some of the sockets look charred... please tell me that that is not bad! mine actually melted and came out. it'll be ok Some noob questions to make you all feel better about yourselves .
I can't quite figure out how to do these solder bridges.
QuoteI can't quite figure out how to do these solder bridges.Its a little tricky at first.Basically, you need to rely on uneven heating. You have to have the two ends cold enough so they don't move, but the bridge needs to be hot enough to bond to both ends. Its easier with a good soldering iron where you can control the temperature.
