I was soldering a keyboard PCB and ended up burning one of the traces. I searched RUclips for some tips and stumbled upon your channel. Several hours of watching your videos later and I am a big fan! I love your super chill attitude and personality. Thank you for doing these. Oh, and I fixed that broken trace like a pro. 🙏
Did you managed to fix the trace? I'm wondering in case I run to the same issue
@@elkinmontoya9640 he says in comment that he did
@@caseG80 I'm sorry, I miswrote what I meant, I wanted to ask how did he do it. Did OP managed to fix it with just soldering?
Brilliant..😎🔬💖
Totally
I have to give you a HUGE commendation for teaching soldering "correctly". I personally have 17years of hand soldering in my technician working life. In my working years I was hand soldering cellular phone prototypes, I was working with a group of engineers, who I "ended up" teaching how to solder correctly. Some of them got it, but most of them did not, so I was the "main person" to go to, to get their soldering job done. I am now retired. Keep up the good work! There are a bunch of others on RUclips that are teaching soldering, but are teaching it wrong.
Thank you!
I’m genuinely interested, why are you watching this video?
Nice build and unexpected funny ending LOL
I like to take notes while watching Bruce's videos.
Note in the flux category:
"Clean excess flux with isopropyl alcohol, toothbrush, and a bit of a wipe"
Perfect. I love these tutorials. So helpful and I was literally able to make informed purchases just now, even as a beginner. 😎
I literally decided to start messing around with electrical components a few days ago and decided to look up some videos to educate myself before just jumping in on my own. So glad that I found this video! You do an amazing job at getting your thoughts across and the video is easily digestible; I've currently just got done watching your beginners guide part 1&2, back to back, and I'm ready to consume more! Well done sir.
You’ve saved a ton of time watching less useful videos. This guy is so succinct and informative. And also is one of those encouraging folks you want to hang around and absorb some of that knowledge.
I can't with brown and red. Being colorblind sucks at times.
ALWAYS trust a fella that films from his workstation. Your work is inspiring and so very helpful. Thanks buddy, this is amazing.
These videos are becoming my soldering bible! Love this channel.
I just got a promotion at my job to manufacturing assembly not only is it mechanical and fab but also electronics and soldering etc. I have residential and commercial 120/240v wiring experience but no low voltage electronic soldering experience. Don’t really know anything about resistors and that sort of thing. They know and I know that I’m competent enough to be on the job trained. So I’m trying to Absorb knowledge from RUclips in conjunction with on the job. I hate being a newbie haha. Your series seems like a great intro so far.
Thank you, this is great content. I've watched many videos on soldering/electronics and I still learned a few things. I'd love to see more videos of you building kits, but the big part would be you explaining what each part is, what it does and how it works in real time as you go along....that would be amazingly powerful way to learn for me.
One of my good friends is your American Doppelgänger. It cracks me up every time I watch your videos. Thank you for all the great content!
Part 2????? I’m in Bruce! 👍
Again thank you from both of us. This gives us confidence going into this world of solder and electronics.
Thanks Bruce.
LMAO in the end. Thanks for the tutorial!!!!!!! Very interesting!!
I have done the same, bought a kit, soldered components in, and the pads melt off, its probably a single sided board, band crap quality
What is a safe temperature to set your iron to so the board doesn't turn black but still get a good solder joint,idk why but I'm having trouble finding a happy medium
I'm still not sure how this is called beginner. You're showing great techniques and explaining how it's done. I enjoy watching.
i was just watching the part one because i bought a soldering station to practice and i check to see if theres a second part and it got uploaded literally a day ago what are the chances lmao
PERFECT! It's been a few years since I used a soldering iron and am about to change the capacitors on my tube guitar amplifier. This was a great video with good reminders and solid tips. Thank you.
I loved your first video! It’s definitely helpful to someone new to soldering. I was glad to see this recommended when I was rewatching it. I’m looking forward to your next kit building video.
I'm studying electronics in school and this has been a godsend.
Thanks for the great tutorials. I've found myself having to learn soldering really quickly, so this was a big help. One question. You were wearing gloves in the unboxing of the kit and again the end. Are there any reasons why? At the end, I assume because of the use of the alcohol, but I'm not sure on why at the beginning. Thanks again.
Thank you for making these guides! I purchased myself a soldering iron 1-2 years ago and a kit and it was really intimidating, but this helps a lot! Also helped show the significance of having some tools (like the circuit board holder/stand) and makes me realize how important those things are, considering I did not have one before!
Can't wait to give this a go myself. Definitely going to use this video for reference
Your PCB holder just made my life so much easier.
I love watching you work, you put so much care into every component.
Thank you, sir!
Just discovered this channel - I'm looking into soldering electronics, but I never have before. This video and the previous one in the series have been immensely helpful.
Subbed and thank you!
This is the best series I've seen for a beginning hobbyist. Thank you for the time and effort you invested in creating these videos.
Thank you for sharing
How do you manage not to cause bridges on tiny closely packed components?
Any good tip? Thanks.
A small tip. Small .3mm or so solder so you can add it slowly. Some cheap $16 magnifying glasses like these can help also www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PT4Z9CV In this video he was soldering under a microscope to make the video which helps a lot.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for the instruction!
So I clicked on part one because I want to upgrade a fan on my 3d printer and I want to splice in a qd coupling, so I needed a basic lap joint splice refresher, which was demonstrated quite well. Now I find myself at the end of part 2 looking at electronics kits on banggood and printable PCB vises and third hands on thingiverse, lol.
What sort of 3D printer?
I'm into 3d printer and radio control and on that note I'm trying to figure how to fix them
Thanks for the video, Bruce. I've been looking to brush up on my kit building skills.
Thanks Bruce these videos have been great for a complete noob, really helpful👍
Thank you so much Bruce. These two informative and insightful videos are exactly what I needed. Uk
I'm really enjoying your calm demeanor and thorough explanations
I am working up the courage to build a split mechanical keyboard myself and I found your videos very helpful! Thank you very much :)
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us! I'm just starting out, and I've been watching a lot of youtube vids. It's awesome seeing so many helpful people out there, and your vids are right up there with the best! Keep on keeping on, and thanks again!!
Very good and informative video, thank you for sharing👍👍
Hello again Bruce, I did ask before, can I ask what type of Camera, you use on your Microscope..? doing quite well, have began collecting Arduino Products, for Kit Building.
Thanks so much, for your Programs.🎉
Hello, and Thank you Bruce, really good demo on How to assemble, Solder parts, to PCB... Just a beginner, also like to ask, what type Camera you use on your Microscope, as have same Model... Good Luck, is there part 3... and on from there.
I use citric acid for cleaning and tinning my tip works great.
Another well done Video! Easy to follow for the beginner and GOOD review for the more seasoned Solderer. Great work!
Im so new ive never soldered a thing...and non of any vid i saw told me you actually solder it on the bottom...i love this dude
Hi,
Great videos, Thanks for sharing. what is the model of the microscope you are using? cheers
Exelente class, I'm looking for hand soldering clases and this video its very helpful..😊
I went looking for the budget hot air station and found this caution on the listing: “Frequently returned item
Check the product details and customer reviews to learn more about this item.”
Do you recommend any other?
Very good video with allot informations. i really thank you for all of these and the quality of the video.
i would love to see next how to remove ugly bulbs or briidged connmections and re work on these cause most of us wont make cute solderings at first :D
If you are new do not start with leaded solder. It will be just a bit harder (you just need to turn up the temperature to about 400C) but it is so much safer for yourself and your surrounding environment.
Hello Chris, what Solder do you recommend... Thank you.
You mentioned that there were projects like this to build your own computer...where can I get that?
Part 1 and 2, really helpful. Thanks again.
In China workers usually finish soldering & cutting & cleanning the whole row within 2 minutes or they will be fired.
Thank you so much Bruce, those two parts are super helpful for beginners!
I am sodering to a flight controller for a fpv drone and I can not get the battery leads to stick.Ive tried different soder,different heat settings I got it super clean and the wires will not hold to the board
Thanks very much Bruce. Is there really a Part 3 please?
I'm really enjoying your videos. You have a great way of explaining what you're doing. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I watched part 1 just to learn how to safely and neatly solder some heat tape for my reptiles. Now I want to order a kit, how did I get here 😂
nice, Bruce I am learning from you thank you.
Been waiting! Its why i subscribed :V
Thank you, and there's lots more coming!
same here
Why don't you check the circuit before trimming the tips?
U might have included some closeups of good, bad, and ugly solder joints. maybe U did that in the first one I will have to re-watch. but Otherwise great job!
I have a video coming soon about fixing soldering mistakes where I will be focusing on the good, the bad and the ugly!
I shd've watched this first b4 I ruined my car toy.
best soldering videos ive seen so far keep it up Bruce
Thanks for sharing your skill. Great clear video.
It’s a little push button switch - ‘click , click , click’
🤗
would love to know where you got that kit so I could buy one
There are actually much better kits out there. I'd recommend doing a search for the GM328 tester kit. It tests resistors, diodes, transistors and capacitors. It's actually a really useful thing to build.
@@BranchusCreations thank you
Removal of solder would of been nice in part one to make it complete😊
I saw another guy use a piece of scotch tape to hold the tricky parts in place.
This was super helpful stuff. Thank you!
Two thumbs up... very well done
Nice info, thanks :)
Great video. 33:01 awesome ending lol
Part 2!♡ thank you sir
Good video, cheeky ending. Cheers
What a great video! Thank you
When you are melting the solder are you touching it to the tip of the iron first or to the pcb?
I generally place the iron onto the PCB (but also touching the component lead), then feed the solder into the heat.
Simply great video series
Nice looking electronic cigarette.
"...little switch...clickity-click" & I realize I'm watching the Bob Ross of soldering 😁
Great video..leanred a lot(again)
As a novice I am very impressed with your soldering & electronics skills... you have another subscriber my friend 👍
I KNOW BUGGER-ALL about electronics but these videos are fascinating to watch . . Thanks.
I have had at least two false starts in soldering over the years ("Just thought I'd try it"), but didn't know what I was was doing, so no wonder, I see now, I didn't enjoy the experience, and the first time I messed up a bit. First let me say that just watching your videos was very satisfying - I'm not sure exactly what, but I suppose the calm relaxedness that comes from knowing what you're doing. I have been out today to buy an iron (no, spending money on simply an iron was quite enough), helping hands, neat little side cutters, a proto-board and a meter of wire. It went very well. Was a bit too careful with the first 1 or 2 solders of four solders, but a little touch-up and they looked good to me. Also stuck two bits of wire together - might expect solid wire to be more difficult than stranded, but it was easy-peasy. Thank you very much. I'll probably watch part 3 tomorrow.
your videos are amazing
Thank you Bruce
I can weld pretty darn good but never mastered soldering for some reason but your videos are Very clear so there’s hope.
I need to fix my truck ecm which apparently has loose connections and I’m going to practice on some old computer boards before I even remove the thermal gel
I can actually turn the truck off by pressing the gel over the chip which leads me to believe the soldered connections are bad .. At least that’s what I hope.
Also my best soldering iron is an older #145 45 watt Ungar or a Taiwan no name 45w with changeable tips so learning as much as possible to see if it’s good enough but may need to upgrade to 60 or 90 watt.
Tell Sergey all I see a smart bald guy so he needs to adjust his glasses…
I’m just an older slightly overweight receding hair line guy…
Thanks again
Got a question. Doing this for the first time. Our washing machine we were told needed a $500+ repair. It has only done 700 loads of laundry but out of warranty. I pulled the controller board out to find a fuse burned out on it. I am not sure if I should put a slow-blow or fast acting fuse in it. Can anyone give me advice on this? THANKS!
Hi Bruce,
Great explanation of soldering technique, may I ask what your soldering iron is? Also I’m a fellow Aussie here, keep up the awesome videos bud, nsw here bud.. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
@Branchus Creations Hello. What temperature are you soldering at??
I'm curious this one too ^^
I actually solder at a very high temp (430ºC), which is higher than I would generally recommend to others. It's just the way I do it. I would usually recommend soldering at around 350ºC (650ºF) when using leaded solder.
I learnt to solder at a radio convention workshop with people around to give me encouragement & advice. It was a brilliant induction and gave me a lot of confidence. Some years later I want to build quite an expensive kit so am thinking doing one or two cheap kits just to get my confidence back. Your video offers so much good advice that I just want to get on with it.
Once again a great video, please keep them coming. I’m just about to build a clock and radio kit and this has addressed some of my “how the hell am I going to do this “ concerns.👍👍thank you
Thanks for showing. I use always excess flux on the board. The whole picture at the and looks cleaner.
Great video. What thickness solder wire did you use?
I typically use 0.5mm (.02") for surface-mount soldering and 0.7mm (.028") for through-hole soldering. I like to use a solder with 63/37 tin/lead ratio and a rosin flux core. I don't get too hung up on brands, as long as they are good quality.
I’ve bought the boys stations, solder and other stuff. I did see practice breadboards, I didn’t know there were kits. Awesome 👍
Outstanding mate!!!
Awesome video sir.
Excellent tutorial
Loving the tutorials mate. Appreciate your time and effort. Can't go wrong with a click brand $10 pedestal fan from bunnings too, have a few of those bad boys (=
Can you please link that kit from robot gear? Can't find it for the life of e. Closest was the link bang good but it's located in China (log shipping time)
This is the link to the kit on Robot Gear: www.robotgear.com.au/Product.aspx/Details/1533-Capacitance-Meter-DIY-Kit though may I recommend that the GM328 component tester is a far more useful device. Searching for GM328 should return plenty of buying options.
These videos are great your first part to sodering and this video. Im trying to get into this as a hobby and maybe fix a few gaming controllers for fun and little know how. I wish you would go into a little bit of disordering . I have an idea how it works but watching someone else do it is always a plus and a person can get a better idea. a lot of the stuff Im trying to do has to do with removing a bad part on a board and replacing it with a new part. Again great videos and I really enjoyed them and learn a lot.
great job! never had much success with soldering before but I now really need it to work on a coffee machine. You have given me some confidence to at least get started. cheers
This is great. New subscriber here. I work as a maintenance technician in a hydroponic greenhouse and don’t have much electrical experience. I’m ordering a few kits, a digital clock to start with. Hoping I can make some connections that will apply in my work life.
