There are many reasons to learn the art of soldering, if you don’t already solder. Whether to take a project from breadboard prototype to a completed project… saving money by buying a kit instead of a pre-assembled… harvesting parts from old/broken electronics… modifying existing consumer electronics… the reasons go on and on!
BUT learning to solder can be intimidating… especially if you’re learning on your own or don’t have someone to consult with.
Luckily, the fine people at Curious Inventor have put together a great resource for soldering and solder reference. They also have a great video tutorial, which you can view below.
Be sure to check out the Curious Inventor Solder Guide for pics, reference and hints!
