Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully.
1.1 Make sure you have the right tools:
A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.•
Wipe it often on a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solder to the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’ and •
will protect the tip, and enables you to make good connections. When solder rolls off the tip, it needs cleaning.
