- I started soldering using the soldering station, I started with the microcontroller followed by the USB connector
Tips From Regional Review! - It is recommended to start soldering the core componenets or hardest to solder one so that if the componenets failed or the circuit was messed up you know the as early as possible that you will need to work on antoher PCB, this is an agile concept called FAIL FAST.
- For the resonator, I did put paste on the pads and then with the hot gun I heated it then I put the resonator on the melted paste while heating gently and uniformly.
- For the excess solder, I used the braid where I put the braid on the excess solder paste firmly and put the tip of the solder iron on the braid till it diffuse to the braid.
- After every soldered componenet I tested for short circuit existence using the AVO meter
- Finally I finished and it was done and below how my final circuit looked like.
