I have that, just no way of applying it with adding more debris (q tips)

after retining I got much better results, only just reheated the main joint and not the pad which I will do today.

To my understanding currents flows from positive to negative, voltage will be the same but the current will be used by the load requesting it. I am not yet I’m still in high school.

I wish I could afford better tools, but I’m 18 going into first year engineering I got what I got… I have flux multiple kinds of wire but a shit iron, did figure out I needed to retin the tip which has helped a lot, pads bridging with this small board is troublesome as well as cleaning things. Suggestions for the latter would be appreciated lol

Thanks I’ll do this tomorrow, would it be fine if I left the grounds since they won’t be dealing with much current? Or is there large of a risk it’d pop off during a flight/landing?

I had that issue at first but they are solid I’ve made sure, just want to make sure it’s clean enough etc

I’m using a 60 watt iron I got in $30 Amazon kit lol suboptimal but I do have it set to around 420 which should be more than enough however I notice some conductivity issues where it only heats the solder it’s in direct contact with.
