@@RiverTechJess Hi fellow aero engineer! I used to solder connections instead of using connectors with the same thought for robustness. My mentor told me to stop since soldering wires can lead to fatigue cracks with the rigid connection + stiffened wire where the solder wicks under the insulation. This was for a UAS and was a high vibe environment. Soldered wire connections are generally a no no for aircraft (especially manned) and we usually crimp everything. You may already know but FYI.
As an Eng tech student I would say that you're doing great for someone soldering for the first time! The Internet's great, you could probably read up on pseudo joints and cold joints and then it just becomes a matter of aesthetics 😀
A suggestion : solder the wires on the other side of the board, at the points where the pins are already soldered. That will make the process easier and reduce the chances of breakage. Get well soon and take care!
Okay!... and I hope you feel better. Chicken noodle-soup and tofu, silken or fried? I think both is best. Amazon¿ Don't feed the birds to much. **Edited: Your vidz make my day
Chicken soup is on the way! Catch it!!! ;D I hope you feel better soon. Bonne chance pour ton projet, de France. Because I am devoted to my studies I couldn't keep with what you are doing and sent messages. But, always eager to know what are you are in your engineering journey)))
I know that soldering sucks. But what ever you had done is terrible.
Us less amount of lead.
Finally some arduino project
thanks for watching/following:)
Why don’t you use male to female connector wires instead of soldering?
because I want to deploy this in the field and it has to be robust

1234 Switzerland chicken soup is ready ))
*Hopping on the train from Lausanne with some noodles right away*
I'm completely worthless when it comes to soldering. I know the struggle XD
hahaha thanks for the noodles!! I feel better already;)
Honestly, I think I would pick Budapest over soldering too haha. I hope you have a good time in Berlin!
Thanks jake! I think Berlin will be awesome:D And ya Budapest was def more fun than soldering
Just curious, is there any reason you can’t use jumper wires?? I’m doing my Mechanical Engineering degree at UCL and my soldering is terrible too.
Hey welcome! Mainly because I want my thing to be robust:)
Yea I'm with you, the point is to figure it out
Nice to see you build, more please :)
Also (makes you chicken noodle soup) feel better girl!
thank you for supporting me and following my journey:) And thanks for the well wishes:D
And for the chicken noodle soup;)
the L in soldering is silent dear!
P.S. get well soon!!!
thank you! Didn't know:) And thanks for the well-wishes:)
@@RiverTechJess, only in North America. Everyone else says it just like you did.
That’s why I was confused
Are there any other options available too to attach the wires to board except soldering? Like any electronic glue/clips etc??
Use jumper wires
Yes there are, maybe would've been better to start that way. but I want to deploy in the field and it needs to be robust which is why I'm soldering:)
A suggestion : solder the wires on the other side of the board, at the points where the pins are already soldered. That will make the process easier and reduce the chances of breakage.
Get well soon and take care!
ah thanks for the tip! And for the well-wishes:)
STEMinine their not supposed to be soldered there supposed to be put into a socket
I got soul but i'm not a solder!
lol😹

ooooo I love fried tofu!! Thanks for watching and for the well-wishes:)

Thanks so much for the soup! I feel better already:D Et merci beaucoups!
