Description:
Soldering is easy!!! We just need to do it safely and without harming our fellow classmates. Always assume the soldering iron is hot, because it will burn so bad:(
Don't touch the tip, EVER, and do not set the soldering iron on things that are flammable. That's not good! If you accidentally drop your very hot soldering iron, do not use your ninja like reflexes to catch it. You will most likely the end that burns you.
The purpose of Lab 1 is four newbies to practice our soldering skills by doing just that; soldering surplus components on a piece of PCB. The components are to neatly lay flat on the board and not off to one side. We are to heat lead of the component and conductive pad of the board to prepare it for soldering. Only use enough solder to cover the pad and should look like a tapering mountain. Once you are done, cut the leads off
Power supply, also easy!!!
We are given a 5V power supply, but it is not suited for use on a bread board. We are to cut the end off and split positive and negative wires. Next we splice the power supply wires with solid wires that are about 3 inches long. I wrapped one wire around the other and soldered the exposed wires. For safety shrink wrap was put over the solder for addition protection from short circuiting.
Very Fun!!!
My first few attempts were messy.
I checked the voltage and it is 5V's, horray!!!
I used too much shrink wrap.
The bumps are where I spliced the wires:)
