Soldering Basics Workshop - Thru-hole

6PM - 7PM: Social Hour
7PM - 8PM: Soldering Workshop
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this hands-on session we’ll build the thru-hole version of the LED flasher circuit the group recently designed. You’ll review the schematic, pick up a soldering iron, and leave with a blinking board you built yourself.

Workshop Highlights:
- Quick recap of the 555-timer flasher schematic and BOM.
- Tips for identifying and orienting thru-hole LEDs, resistors, capacitors, and the 555 IC.
- Demonstration of clean, reliable through-hole solder joints.
- Guided assembly, testing, and simple troubleshooting of your finished board.

During the Social Hour you can grab a drink, meet fellow builders, and get help if you missed an earlier session. Experienced members will be on hand to answer questions and share soldering tips.
