  • In order to use all that GPIO, you're probably going to want a way to connect it to your breadboard or other projects. But, if you're new to this type of work, those small pins and contacts can seem intimidating. In this quick tutorial, I show you how to solder pins onto the Raspberry Pi Pico, but it works just as well on any similar board!

    Noob question here. What is the purpose of a breadboard?

    • @PrintNPlay

      A breadboard allows you to temporarily "socket" a bunch of components and connect them together with jumper cables. That way, you can make sure the electronics in your build will work together properly before permanently soldering them together.
      It's super helpful in prototyping!

    Just found your channel - I'm super new to microcontrollers and soldering, so your guides are so helpful - just seeing someone else do the thing instead of reading a more abstract guide is really great. Thanks man! Gonna try your morse-code board later today.

    That's a great way when using a conical tip! If you have an edge/blade tip (I don't recall the proper name) after applying flux and doing at least one corner you can just flood it riding along the pins. I have shaky hands when soldering as well so I use the same method you do. 👍

      @@PrintNPlay by the way, do you think that doing bad solrderings can affect ADC readings? i tried to solder my pico w and when uploading code from a project developed on a pico, adc values go crazy, vsys 0.9 volts when attached a 3.7v liion battery.

    Very helpful soldering tutorial! Where did you buy your header pins from?

    • @PrintNPlay

      I ordered a kit from Amazon that included the headers as well as some blank PCBs!

    • @PrintNPlay

      You likely want one with a rosin core, or you can use Flux with the solder you have

    I'm not trying to be a downer here, but this could potentially mess up your breadboard. You could accidentally drip solder into one of the holes and create a permanent bridge. If you're new to soldering, you could leave heat on a pin too long and melt the plastic socket on the breadboard. Not to mention that the metal bridges in the breadboard will dissipate heat, making it more difficult to solder the pins without tinning the iron (which is not good because you run the risk of creating a cold joint if you aren't fast with your soldering). I know this was intended to help, but I really wouldn't recommend this unless you have a junk breadboard that you don't care much about.
