  1. Solder paste on a PCB is like salt on a dish.
    It's easy to add, but difficult to eliminate.
    wisdom №684: not enough solder paste is strictly better than too much.

    Unless you like bridges.

  2. :neofox_solder:
    You too can repair your household electronics, and help keep them out of landfill!

    (Toaster stopped working, all it needed were two joints redone!)

  3. Anyone knows whether RGB strips such as this one can be cut in length? I'm not sure how these work exactly, only that it should be doable. This isn't specifically made for cutting, but… well, I want to (so it fits nicely).

    The input is a PC RGB 3-pin header (5V, Data, GND), so some kind of data gets encoded… I can only assume those "C[1..3] pads somehow define the length of it. So my wild assumption would be that moving C3 to C2 and cutting behind L20 works…?

  4. Posting this to make the soldering people scream. I suppose I should fix these poor solder joints. #soldering #turntablerepair #turntable #repair

  5. It's been almost a year, and the only thing we've managed to finish is a Merzbow box. I still can't find the perfect candies to make a shell for my guitar pedal. It's supposed to be a Death By Audio Interstellar Overdriver... 😵‍💫

  6. There is no correlation between the two unless you make a circuit with both systems involved

    You should also state which type of jammer you are referring to. You are in the realm of transmitters. Amplifiers components are just as is stated, components

  7. Going back to the basics is important especially when we talk about Electronics.

    On this page amplifiers are highlighted and explained in a clear and consistent manner

    >An amplifier is an electronic device or circuit which is used to increase the magnitude of the signal applied to its input with the increase between its output and input being called Gain
    An Introduction to Different Types of Amplifier

    >Amplifier is the generic term used to describe a circuit which produces and increased version of its input signal. However as we will see in this introduction to the amplifier tutorial, not all amplifier circuits are the same as they are classified according to their circuit configurations and modes of operation.

    >In “Electronics”, small signal amplifiers are commonly used devices as they have the ability to amplify a relatively small input signal. For example from a Sensor such as a photo-device, into a much larger output signal to drive a relay, lamp or loudspeaker for example.

  8. As part of our electronics workshop, participants can turn leftover electronic components into creative tiny creatures. This little wizard even got a staff with a working lantern.

  9. Does anyone have an electronics repair shop they recommend, specifically for soldering work? I broke a shoulder button on my SteamDeck and I've tried to repair it myself but I certainly lack the skill and maybe the dexterity to get it done. I'm afraid to keep going and do more damage to it.

    I'd love to pay someone local to give it a shot if anyone has recommendations. Ideally in #SouthJersey or #Philadelphia.

  10. Some impressions from our last hands-on soldering workshop.

    We do not run this workshop regularly, but a new date is planned for fall, including some special Halloween soldering kits. Stay tuned for updates.

  11. The #1 thing u learn about soldiering is: always use rosin flux

  12. My #soldering skills have, um, improved dramatically in the time since I bought this #Arduino motor shield.

  13. Soldering is hard but worth it. Customers photo printed dot grid journals with good paper are improved by adding a charm to the ribbon! #customizingart #soldering #jewelry #bujo

  14. I am hard choosing #Pinecil or Alientek T90A.

    They are ≈ $54.5, $51.5, with 3 tips respectively.

    T90A has c210 tips(seem to be cheaper) It has a cylindrical cap for the tip, so it is safe to carry.
    Also comes with USB C cable.

    But Pinecil v2 is OSHW, FLOSS.

    I will be doing probably some modules, PCB, perfboard, not thick wires soldering. Occasional micro soldering to hack devices.

    T90 has N32L403 MCU.
    Maybe it is an opportunity for me to develop :rust: PAC and HAL for this MCU.
    There are official datashits and C code.
    Also community made iron schematic.

    But this will take a lot of time, I am already kind of busy with school, robotics, math. Reverse Engineering is addictive.

    What would you choose in my place?

  15. I was delighted to repair my portable recorder: a cheap plug had broken off at the XLR input. I had to take the whole thing apart. It was a very stressful moment when I tore off the copper-coated insulating tape and desoldered the XLR plug, but I managed to sort it out.
    [EDIT] You can find parts in France and europe here : audiotronic.eu/ (I buyed 2 modules just in case)

  16. Seit heute haben wir neben Lötkolben auch Ctrl + Z: einen Entlötkolben. Wenn ihr mal ein Loch zu viel zugelötet habt, eine Komponente falschherum drin steckt, dann jetzt auch mit der Möglichkeit das Lot wieder rauszusaugen und es erneut zu versuchen.

  17. I did a thing! 😁

    I know some of them look pretty bad but for my first (real) project that required soldering I think I did alright!

  18. It's always nice when the #soldering job works out on the first try.
