Why

This document exists due to numerous failures in our systems due to poor soldering. Insufficient training frequently leads to crashes that cause lots of hardware damage.

Preliminary information

• Pull test every solderred wire before heatshrinking

• Photograph and ask if you aren’t sure

• Some raw videos showing how to make a good solder joint as well as poor examples are given by soldering

  • if this link isn’t available for you please ping the leadership team for help

  • these videos could be nicely editted together in the future and or a nice powerpoint presentation for a lunch and learn session could be done?
