Breadboarding is a great way to get started with electronics, and with the wide availability of those little wire jumpers, it’s never been easier – until you hit roadblocks due to poor connections and ...

I learn soldering SMD is a super simple kit designed to give you a (relatively) pain-free crash course in that topic! While SMD might look a bit scary in the beginning it's easily manageable when you ...

See also the Platino Soldering Station for more discussions about this project. The project is about a cheap SMD solder station built as an Arduino shield (Arduino UNO). It supports active soldering ...

Surface mount technology (SMT) was developed in the 1980s to make possible the use of very small components that have no wire leads or pins. These components are now tenned surface mount devices (SMDs ...

A highlight of last year’s Hackaday Remoticon was a soldering competition that had teams from around the world came together online and did the well-known MakersBox SMD Challenge kit in which a series ...

This PCB is designed to be challenging to complete, this means you're likely to fail, at least for the smaller components which are super easy to drown in a blob of solder or to lose track of There's ...
