Very clever, I just started DIYing and having a hard time soldering my male pin headers straight and flush. Never thought of using one of my breadboards for that ! Thanks a bunch
Doing a MATEK F722 WPX flight control board for an RC wing build. Just found your tutorial made four years ago. Still relevant and helpful today. Thank you.
i know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
just started my Elements of Electrical engineering course. We are doing this exact thing for our first lab and I have no experience soldering. Thank you for this video.
Exactly what I needed, as I got a CP2112 debug board, which is about half the size of the board in the video. The breadboard technique was very clever.
Another tip is to push the pins further down beforehand so that they aren't sticking out a mile from the chip . Especially in cases where you might need that extra room on the bottom because of an sdcard/reset button /etc
Great use of the breadboard for this. I ended up ordering one to use with my Adafruit Pro Trinket, and I love the results. After I solder the header pins, I'm cutting off the longer pins and using the header cap as a standoff inside of a 3D printed enclosure
Thanks for this video - I last did soldering about 15 years ago (back at school) and am now trying to solder some header pins onto a small sensor that I'll be using on a Raspberry Pi and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I see from your video (and other tutorials) that I need to pre-heat the hole in the PCB by briefly touching it with the soldering iron before applying the solder. The Rosin core also seems to be vital... I don't have that with my 15-yr-old reel of solder and rusty old soldering iron. I'll head to the shops tomorrow to buy some new stuff. Also, very clever idea to use the breadboard to hold the PCB in place. Noob question for you, though, if you don't mind answering please: I soldered in header pins into a PCB prior to seeing this video and it's nothing short of a dog's breakfast. I need to melt the solder and get rid of it so I can remove the header pins and start from scratch. Could you please explain how to go about doing this? Thanks. :)
Just get yourself a roll of desoldering wick. Gutwick is a nice brand. It's Flux infused copper braid. Place it over the joint then put your iron on top and it will suck up the old stuff.
Nice video with some really good pointers. One thing that would be helpful: what's your technique in case of a solder bridge? I know you said it isn't likely with good solder, but just in case. Thanks!
OK O see what you did and i have a question. I am building a model train sound board using a Wemos mini D1. But in one week I have managed to kill 3 of these boards. I wanted to ask your opinion. What heat is used to solder pins, I used a tiny tip with 250 C and it was awful. Cold Joints. On the model train we use the transformer to control speed and convert the AC track power to DC then Regulate to 5V DC for the Wemos. It worked very well. Until I started to really test the systems and had to raise and lower track to change direction or restart a sound. It seems the Blue Light went from solid to flickering and them pulsing over time. Then the board becomes nonoperable. My colleague thinks we need a Buck & Boost board in front of the Wemos. He thinks the low voltage on and off can corrupt the board. Would you be able to offer any insight in to this setup. I have been upgrading numerous systems in the engines like Trucks, Smoke, Motors but the Sound Stuff has so much delicate electronics I am not so capable of skilled in making them live very long. Thank You for your videos. I joined the Patrons several months ago. Dennis
Nice no frills video on quality soldering. Would you have links in your store to your preferred solder and solder wick. Being a newbie I find it frustrating when I get the substandard items. Keep up the good work!
I always check after the very first pin is soldered that nothing has lifted off the pin set and all is still level. Don't ask what taught me to do that lol. That first joint secures everything and then I feel safe to do all the other pins.
Is there any concern that the breadboard sinks away significant heat, making it tough to heat the pin enough to melt solder? Or if you turn up the temperature on your soldering iron to counteract that, you could damage your electronics module?
Thanks for a clear example! However, few questions popped up when I watched it: 1. Does the iron do any harm to PCB when you touch it while applying heat? 2. Does it matter from the connectivity/correctness perspective, if you put in the pins from the opposite side of the PCB? Thanks in advance, Denis
Can you help? I have some SMD pre soldered wires but I need the wires longer for my project. What kind of wire should I use? I will be soldering to a pcb thanks
For viewers who can't reproduce the results: Get one of the good microcontroller controlled solder stations from china with the right tips. 25-30$ brings you very far.
Second the good solder station motion. Sadly, I haven't had sustained good luck with Chinese models. Learners are better off digging deep and buying a Hakko or similar product. They're expensive, but it's a lifetime investment.
Hi, do you take orders? I'm not good with soldering. Can you solder a USB 3 female header to a PCI card? I want to swap USB headers on a card. I'll pay you for it.
Nano's or any board with a mini USB socket are the worst boards. The sockets are so flimsy. If I buy one I usually resolder / add extra solder to the 4 pads that hold the metal case of USB socket to the board, just don't use too much towards the front of the socket or the plug won't fit properly.
Actual soldering begins at 3:50. And thanks for the One Hung Low Chinese "joke." Forget about racism. That was already old when I was in elementary school.
oh no you're so precious. Your feelings matter. Haha NO! Get out of here. Nobody needs to hear you shitting about how cruel the world is and how insulted you are.
I rarely give a thumbs down, but I think this video teaches multiple improper techniques. The following video explains why the breadboard is NOT a good idea: ua-cam.com/video/jYKzsLmMV6o/v-deo.html Another good video for beginners: ua-cam.com/video/uzxw1yl1s_M/v-deo.html
Wonder how many modules have been roasted trying to duplicate this reckless example. There is zero need to run down the line like you was in race and it sets a horrible example for newbies. I am not impressed and I would refuse to work on anything with you if we were coworkers. Sad.
Can I send you a board and pay you like $40 to do it ? It's the speedy bee f405 wing , flight controller. I gotta have it done nicely and I don't trust myself. Thank you

Awesome, glad it helped
I'm fairly new to breadboarding/soldering, and this was really helpful.
Your soldering skills are excellent. +1 sub.
Thanks!
only the tip is to big for the work.
@@rallyscoot it is, but it shows that skill rather than tools are the most important

You make this look so easy! I can weld but soldering has always, always given me trouble! Thank you for the vid.
Exactly what I needed, as I got a CP2112 debug board, which is about half the size of the board in the video. The breadboard technique was very clever.
Thank you SO MUCH! I was kinda scared of this, but it turned out great! (it's actually kind of addictive, I want so SOLDER MORE STUFF now)
Cheers

/etc
Even with the wrong tool for the job you did it correctly. Nice.
Wrong tool?
This video is a golden nugget.
Thank you for this explanation!!! The breadboard trick is really clever!
Thank you! I was about to give up trying to solder header pins onto a DRV8833 chip, but now I think I can do it with your technique.
Thanks for the great advice! It took me over an hour to solder the first Pico, and it's done poorly. I should have watched this before :D
That looked so easy. I was just about to do it upside down! Lol. Thank you

Dude, you're a wizard!
Fantastic! Just building up my nerve to try -- you have given me courage.
+zoroastercheese Thanks, I'm here is you have any questions
I have to start off with some double GPIO headers on my pi. Very little room in there! But hey don't know how it'll go until I try, right?
+zoroastercheese Yep, you can do it.
Whoo whoo! Looks good - kept the iron wiped and wet with solder!
+zoroastercheese There ya go. Not so hard was it?
Thank you so much for this. Everyone else made it so complicated!!
Sir, Thanks for this tutorial. It was a great help! Much Appreciated!!
Exactly the video I was looking for!
great soldering skills,thanks for video
Great Vid !!, liked that close up ant the end !!
Thank you for the video. I appreciate the help - used it to solder an Adafruit motor shield onto my Arduino Mega R3 for a school robotics project! :)
+Austin Vojta Cool!
RIP RADIOSHACK!! Miss you already boo
omg you absolute solder king
Thanks bro! This was really helpful
beautiful! Thanks for making the video. I tried this and the side of the board got all burnt and now the arduino doesn't work.
Very nice! I just screwed up a few and soldered them at an 80 degree angle ;-)

Saved my life

Mine end up being messy and not shiny at all. Yet still work. Is that okay?
Amazing explanation. One question, does the solder touch the pin or the solder iron? I can’t tell on the video
Both together
@@learnelectronics Thank you!
that is perfectly soldered. i just tried doing that but i soldered two pins together..
Just practice
can we solder the pins of the opposite side , so the pins are towards the microprocessor
Thanks for the great tips. Do you use a cone or chisel tip normally?
I'm a cone guy
Sir plz make a video on l293 d analog pins solder
What do you use to not have solder bridges between pins?
The solder should only stick to the pins and pads. If you are having bridging, use more flux
Is there any concern that the breadboard sinks away significant heat, making it tough to heat the pin enough to melt solder? Or if you turn up the temperature on your soldering iron to counteract that, you could damage your electronics module?
Nope, it works fine
Thanks for a clear example! However, few questions popped up when I watched it:
1. Does the iron do any harm to PCB when you touch it while applying heat?
2. Does it matter from the connectivity/correctness perspective, if you put in the pins from the opposite side of the PCB?
Thanks in advance,
Denis
No you can drag the iron along the PCB without issue and you can install pins on the top or bottom to fit your needs.
@@learnelectronics thanks !
Will it work without soldering
Thanks homie!
what temperature did you use?
350c
Can you help? I have some SMD pre soldered wires but I need the wires longer for my project. What kind of wire should I use? I will be soldering to a pcb thanks
+David Houk Solid 24 guage tinned copper
super helpful
is an 18W iron going to be hot enough?
Should be
How do you keep the solder from wicking up onto the tip? Is it a temperature issue?
Probably still too low teml
No flux?
Thanks!

In motherbord it self how refrish soldring pin when it is soldring little bit and not conect to chip... QFN chip.
It has 999 likes... obviously I have to like it. Just gonna stare at it for a bit first.
does it break the breadboard when doing this?
Nope
effortless
Thank you.
What is your soldering temperature?
350C
Hi, do you take orders? I'm not good with soldering. Can you solder a USB 3 female header to a PCI card? I want to swap USB headers on a card. I'll pay you for it.
No sorry
isn't the pins should solder to both surfaces of the board?
No, one side only
Amazing
Nice!
.................................. I never thought about using the breadboard -_-
What kind of tip were you using? Was that a bevel tip, face down? It looks like a baseball bat, lol
Conical
Isn't Pb toxic?
Not if you dont eat it.
Nano's or any board with a mini USB socket are the worst boards. The sockets are so flimsy. If I buy one I usually resolder / add extra solder to the 4 pads that hold the metal case of USB socket to the board, just don't use too much towards the front of the socket or the plug won't fit properly.

yea... whatever I failed again :////
you kinda talk like heath ledgers joker
This is the wrong way of soldering, this way you might end up shorting two adjacent pins if you're not careful.
Watch the video, he sais why he wont have problems with bridges.
Even if, simply remove the solder xD
