Garage monitor and advice on soldering

From: Trevor W.
Sent on: Thursday, 9 February 2017, 11:23 am
Folks,
 
Am putting together a garage door monitor that senses the position and sends an alarm depending on certain conditions i.e. open too long, etc.
 
Am using a variable voltage regulator (Pololu - https://www.pololu.com/product/791) along with the SR04. 
 
I will admit that my soldering skills suck big time and while i would love to sharpen those skills i haven't had much opportunity. Rather that ruining the board i thought i would bring it along and get someone to help me out with soldering of the contacts. Anyone keen to assist...:) ?
 
Secondly, i picked up one of the single (non-replaceable) tip soldering irons from Dicksmith years ago. It gets the job done but isn't good for soldering in tight spots. Thoughts on how i might approach this would be appreciated...:)
 
Take care and see you all soon,.
 
Cheers,
Trevor
