Introduction to Soldering Workshop
Details
SIG’s soldering workshop is almost here. If you plan on participating, please read on.
General Info
This workshop is really part one of a two part series. The first part will cover the skills necessary for thru-hole soldering. This includes both soldering and desoldering techniques. We will also be touching on some basic ESD principles throughout the workshop. There are two kits available for this workshop; one is a non-working practice soldering kit. The other is a fully functional Freeduino (Arduino compatible) kit. If you are a hobbyist, owning and knowing how to use a Freeduino microcontroller is invaluable. Here are just a few examples of what you can do with this little wonder.

Check Stay tuned for future workshops where we will cover the programming of the Freeduino.
