Soldering Revisited

It was my second time in the soldering workshop today

Earlier this year we had an introductory lab in the soldering workshop to learn how to solder things properly. Today those skills were put to the test when I had to solder our transmitter for our ELECTENG 209 project. I had already designed the PCB board beforehand so everything was ready for me to solder. When I sat down at one of the work stations, I had to search my memory for the setup procedures before I started to solder. Luckily there were other people who were also soldering at the time so I peered over to see if I was missing anything. Safety glasses! That’s right, I nearly forgot.

At first my soldering was a little iffy but as time went on, I started getting the hang of it. I didn’t manage to solder everything on today because I had to leave early, but at least I made a good start. Now I just have to cross my fingers and hope that everything I’ve soldered actually works in the end!
