Hey y’all! So I’m about to start my first adventure in DIY electronics. I’m going to build a 4-head dosing pump using @joyz76’s build guide! I’m a little nervous; I’ve never done anything like this. I am good with computers but never done anything with soldering. If anyone wants to share their builds, tips, and experiences with me, that would be great! I’ve ordered everything last night, so within the next few weeks I’ll have everything.

Thanks!
 
Soldering takes quite a bit of finesse, I'd do several practice runs before you solder your electronics. I'd have on hand a solder remover too, I prefer the wick variety but some prefer the solder suckers.

Good luck!

Great tip! Thank you! I’ll definitely have to remember that.
