So I haven't soldered in over 20 years.
I need to solder new memory sockets onto my Awe32 sound board.
I also need to cut and rewire / solder a serial port cable to be compatible with my current motherboard.
I also also needed to solder a USB socket to an Adafruit power supply for use with a Raspberry Pi project.
But I haven't soldered in over 20 years... (yes, I said it twice because it's important).
The first project would be the one where I (re) learned to solder.
So what did I do?
Soldered the brand-new USB socket to the power supply, of course.
Gotta have priorities; I mighta damaged the Awe32 or the serial cable. 🤣
I, of course, soldered a bridge between two of the pins on the USB socket and had to fix that. But it works.
Still gotta get some thicker solder and bigger solder wick before I tackle the important projects (can't figure out how to make that stuff work...)
