![]() ![]() You would clip the wire to a small amount, put the gun over the wire, dispense the solder. ![]() Ideally you would have several tips that were different sizes with a center portion where the solder doesn't go. Ideally, it would have a heating element in the gun that melts the solder, and a tip that dispenses a fixed amount of liquid solder (with possibly an option to dispense a stream of solder to make solder bridges). What other options are there for attaching header pins or using a protoboard? I'd like to keep the price down to about $50 (US).Īs I use hot-glue guns for quick crafting, I'm struck that something like a hot-glue gun for soldering would be nice. I've tried several times to pick up the skill, but for whatever reason, I seem to have a block on getting the skill. Part of it is I just don't have the patience to do it enough to get better at it. Part of it is I don't have a dedicated soldering area, and I need to move stuff to do soldering, so I put off doing it. Part of it is either the iron is not hot enough or it is too hot, and I melt some of the substrate on the protoboard/pcb. Part of it is at 57, I'm having to switch between reading glasses and distance glasses (in addition to using the magnifying glass on the third hand jig). I assume I made accidental solder bridges or melted circuitry in the PCB. ![]() A few rows of lights turn on, but they don't seem to be controlled by the program. I was trying to solder the Adafruit i2c backpack for the 8x8 led matrix, and it doesn't work when I attach it to the Uno. Ok, I've just ruined another board at my attempts at through hole soldering. ![]()
