minus-squareMyFeetOwnMySoulOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoAh ok. I was worried about using to much, guess I over compensated. No flux, just resin core solder; was contemplating waiting until I get some, but I am nothing if not impatient.
minus-squareRodeolinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI’m an amateur, but I found a jar of flux and laying it on real thick made for much better soldering than rosin core solder. You can never have too much flux! Just wipe off the excess when you’re done.

minus-squareMyFeetOwnMySoulOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoLmao! Thanks for your confidence in me! No, I did not do the top board, just the headers. Man I wish I could have a first attempt like that.
