dude! I cant thank you enough, you were so detailed and still helping after 6 years! Thank you x100 times

I just ruined my zero. I did not take into account the gauge of solder and burned something enough to brick the thing. You can only lead a man to water so much. Great video none the less. Learned a lot. 😭

Great video, 6 years later u still helping people.

I took my first ever stem project as a raspberry pi car, got a raspberry pi zero, got shaky hands and still hadn't solder the headers to the pi yet. As soon as I get my solder Iron back(My parents took it saying they smell smoke from my room and will return when I move to college so till then I am stuck with the boring breadboard) I will solder those damn headers so perfectly in those holes of the pi, no force will ever be able to pick them apart. Thanks for the tutorial

your video helped. Thanks. My connections look ugly but the last 5 look awesome. I'm going to leave them like this so I remember when "i did not know how to solder". Thanks. ( I checked continuity and it checks good)

Exactly what I was looking for. I thought this was much more difficult. Thank you!

I melted this plastic many times. I think it's the hardest part for all newbies. Thanks for the video!

love that table!!

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for thorough video. Helped me a lot!

I did this the first time, I can see the pins one by one as it gets better :))

Perfect explanation

Amazing tutorial, thanks a lot! I think I did a great job, solderings look really good, just really thin tin coverings on the pins. I felt that it is important to really have that 370°C, then just touch the pin, not the board, just touch tin on the board-pin connection and it immediately attaches nicely. The first two attempts did not work so nicely, because my soldering iron was not hot enough - ** I believe a hot tip really is key**. First time soldering two Pi Zeros and it took me roughly 5 min per board.

Very good video, it was really helpful ... Thanks a lot!

Exactly what I was looking for thanks buddy

Thanks this helped a lot!

thanks for making this video! I just did my first set, they turned out EXTREMELY ugly, but they all work!

Just what I wanted to know!

Excellent video, explained just what I was looking for. It took a while to get all pins done nicely but it worked in the end. If I may make this comment: personally I thought the quite active moving of the hands, in the 2 minutes, made that bit of the video a bit restless. But that is only my taste.

Use some Blu-Tack. It will make the task much easier

Great video, can you tell me what camera you are using or did you use two different cameras?

Can I use two 20 single row pins instead of the dual 20 double row pins? I would think each pin is independent so it won’t matter either way.

Dat is handig voor mijn Kali Linux project

Love the Dutch accent .. :)

Thank You ! :)

Great thanks!

Hello, I would like to ask, is it ok if I grind my solder tip?

What solder are you using - 30W ? also, if I have soldering station with adjustable temps, what temperature would you recommend ? Thank for the video !

Amazing Explanation..Could you plz suggest some links to buy a good soldering gun for this type of work?

king! Thank you

Love your workbench... I have waisted...I mean invested many hours into playing Gradius!

thank you!

God send!

What's the diameter of the solder? I'm guessing it's rosin core? Any reason not to use lead-free? Is lead-free more difficult to work with?

Couple of newbie questions 1) do we need to solder all 40 pins? Can I solder 2 pins on each side as it'll hold for the little experimenting I want to do 2) if I just put the pins within GPIO slots without soldering them and then use jumper wires to work with the breadboard, will that work? (Assuming no movement is required in the circuit). Thanks 👍

Thank you

pleasse can you add a anazon links for the gpio pins and the other stuff?

Hello :) I have a problem with my raspberry pi Zero (not W version). I can not install the next library using the next command: sudo pip3 install adafruit-cuitphyton-servokit Return me this error: Error: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement adafruit-circuitphyton-servokit Error: Not matching distribución find for adafruit-circuitphyton-servokit I'm stuck from 2 weeks ago. Any help It will be so greatful. Ty.

Does it ever make sense to only solder some of the pins, if not all the connections are required for the project? That is, solder some for structural strength and some for their connections, but leave the rest unsoldered (until a later date, perhaps)

all that happens for me is the solder won't melt, eventually it melts and goes all over the place and rolls off the board, never sticks to anything. the soldering iron is bright red hot, and barely melts the solder. I don't know what magic you are practicing, but it does require sorcery.

Does it matter which way around it goes?

Just soldered some headerpins the other day... i hate them.

You could use some grips to hold it still.

I'm really struggling with soldering. There's just nothing happening when I touch the iron to the solder for a very long time. And the tip definiltey doesn't melt anything as fast as what your doing. I got one cheap iron of amazon and when that didnt work I got a ryobi solder iron. That was isn't working very well either. Can't figure out if its me or the cheap solder irons.

I'm curious if you use a magnifying glass when soldering. It seems that the pins are quite small and to see the detail that we see in the video takes some magnification.

Oooooow now I get it. Was doing it all wrong. I'll try to desolder those little "balls" I have on my outer pins.

haha vanaf de eerste seconde herkende ik de nederlander hier

I tried with a wide tipped soldering iron and all I can say is that my Pi is traumatized.

followed this tutorial and it broke my pi

you should have used flux

Why don't they come pre-soldered?? Perhaps hope to sell more to inexperienced/novice consumer.

That was really helpful, thanks.

Very helpful, thank you!
