Thanks for watching! - Věda a technologie
I'm a little intimidated to get into this hobby but I am grateful for tutorials like this! hopefully it will get me into it!!
Just what I was looking for. Very helpful indeed. Great voice for voiceover too.
THANK you, I needed this exact tutorial
Thanks for the video! I’m doing my first keyboard build after parts arrive and this was great to watch as a primer.
We're glad you liked the video, best of luck with your build!
Great vid
I personally love the smell of solder and it isnt that bad for you now that most are lead free.
Lead doesn't aerosolize at normal soldering temps, it's the flux that smells
Best faqin soldering video on youtube dunno why you only have 5k views??
I have an unlubed prebuilt keyboard that I want to desolder, lube, and resolder. Are you saying that for that I should apply more solder so that it’s rounded and covering up the pin? This is my first time. So because it was a originally prebuilt I apply that extra solder whereas if it were not prebuild I would not do that? You said it’s for encoders? What are encoders? Thanks so much
while I was removing the switch the Annular Ring (that silver circle that surrounds the port where the pins come in, came out while I was soldering, how can I fix it??
while soldering does solder damage the pcb
Anymore with fine components I don't like using a desoldering tool, it was fine when I was just soldering motor wires for radio controlled cars, but these days I tend to use de-soldering wick.
:)
p.s. love my Iris rev6
We use de-soldering wick from time to time! It's pretty nifty too. So stoked you are happy with your Iris Rev. 6! Cheers!
one important detail that seems to be missing everywhere is what temperature to set the soldering iron to. The recommended tools page only points to temperature controlled irons, but doesn't include a specific temperature to use. Any suggestions?
Depends on the solder you use, but for 63Sn/37Pb we suggest 350-360C, and for lead-free, 400C
@@Keebio You meant Celcius, right?
@@fnvfanMSPR Ah yeah, meant Celsius, edited now
Why is a round solder joint too much? What's the downside?
It's difficult to know if under a rounded mass of solder if the joint between pad and pin is properly made and provides a reliable electrical connection
