He he.

Thanks for the link -- I had looked for some tutorials but found that there seemed to be quite a few.  Having specific recommendations is helpful!


BTW, if the serial approach doesn't work...the following was inspiring:

An informal but very comprehensive series of soldering videos can be found here.

Here are the three I've found (made it through the first two so far):


* EEVblog #180 – Soldering Tutorial Part 1 – Tools
* EEVblog #183 – Soldering Tutorial Part 2 <- PTH, pins on connectors, etc.
* EEVblog #186 – Soldering Tutorial Part 3 – Surface Mount
I didn't know about special soldering tips for lead-free soldering and it was interesting to hear his opinion on specific types of soldering tips -- he seems to be mostly down on conical ones with a preference for the wedge type.  In the previous sentence "tips" refers to what's typically at the end of a soldering iron :)

Thanks, 40hz!
