Digital technologies/Soldering/Soldering- Beginner

Jaredpoole:

Soldering is a process often used when working with electronics. It consists of melting one metal to connect two or more metal pieces. This connection not only creates an electrical connection, but it also secures a component in place.

We will be going over two different situations where soldering is used. The first being when soldering two different wires together and the second is when soldering a component to a perfboard or a PCB. A perfboard is a rigid board which has a grid of holes drilled into it. Each hole is surrounded by a copper pad onto which you can adhere solder. A PCB is a printed circuit board. They are similar to perfboards except that the components are connected using a conductive material built into the board.

==The process==

===What is needed:===

*Soldering iron
*Solder (preferably lead free)
*Components you want to solder
*Vent fan

Optional items:

*Solder wick
*De-soldering tool
*Soldering mat

===Soldering two wires together===
Soldering two wires is the best way to practice soldering at the very beginning. There are two types of wire, either stranded or solid core. Both have a metal core wrapped in a plastic covering. To see the metal, you need to expose the core by removing the plastic. There are special tools to do this called “wire strippers”. However, it is possible to do the same thing with scissors. A video on how to strip the wire is available here.

====Procedure====

#Grab a few wires, strip 1 cm off each end and bend each end in a U shape.
#Crimp the two wires together with a pair of pliers.
#Hold the soldering iron like a pen. Heat the two wires for 1-2 seconds and then flow solder on the connection. The goal is to heat the connection not the solder. Once you see the solder flow evenly throughout the connection, remove the solder and soldering iron.
#Allow the connection to cool, this usually takes 20-30 seconds. During this time, avoid moving the wires

===Soldering to a board===

#Place the lead (metal stick coming from component) or wire through the hole in the perfboard or PCB.
#Holding the soldering iron like a pen, heat the copper pad and lead with soldering iron until the solder begins to flow and forms a strong connection. Remove solder, and then the soldering iro. This process should take only a few seconds.
#Allow for the connection to cool

== Do's and Don'ts ==

=== Remember to: ===

# Select the correct temperature
#* 700F (370C) for through hole components and wires
#* 600F (315C) for surface mount components
#* Higher temperatures can damage
# Clean the tip between uses
#* It’s better to use the gold wool to clean the tips rather than the sponges
# Wet the sponges before use
#* If the sponges are used dry, they burn and leave residue on the tips
# Tin the tip when you are using the iron
#* Add a small amount of solder to the iron to keep it from oxidizing when you place it in the holder

=== Do not: ===

# Do not leave the iron on. Leaving the iron can cause the tip to burn and will ruin in the iron over time
# Do not file the tip. The tips have a protective coating the will get ruined
# Don’t touch the mat or any plastics with the iron. A thin plastic film will form on the iron which will inhibit soldering. This includes heat shrink tubing.

=== Spending your Project Budget ===

#Before anything is bought by a team you must approve it.
#When reviewing BOMs always check for:
##Complete list of parts, this should be representative of the designs and include fasteners and wire and everything else.
##Shipping and tax costs.
##If a cheaper or better alternative exists.
##If a cheaper supplier exists.
#When looking for places to find parts, here is the order of places to look:
##In the Makerlab, here is the inventory (cost included in BOM).
##In the Makerstore, here is the makerstore guide and here are your codes (cost included in BOM).
###Assume prices from the store are what you would find at aliexpress for a certain component (electronics not metal).
##Online or local stores, some common places are:

=== Online and Local Stores ===

*'''Amazon''' https://www.amazon.ca/
*'''Digikey''' https://www.digikey.ca/
*'''Robotshop''' https://www.robotshop.com/ca/
*<s>'''Active tech electronics'''</s> (Merged with Gervais)
*'''Gervais electronics (local)''' http://www.gervaiselectronics.ca/
*'''A2D electronics (local)''' https://a2delectronics.ca/
*'''Hardware stores:''' home hardware, home depot, rona (local)

How to submit a project to MakerRepo

2019-12-18T17:02:28Z

Jaredpoole: Created the page and moved document in

MakerRepo is a repository of design projects free for everyone to use and share. MakerRepo acts as a source for students to access projects created by makers in the community. Projects are submitted by students on an ongoing basis. These projects form a knowledge base that is accessible by the rest of the community. The richer the contributions by the community and students, the more valuable MakerRepo will be for past, present and future students and clients.

<br />

=== Create an account ===
Head-over to '''MakerRepo''' (makerepo.com) and '''Login''' or '''create''' an account at the top right corner of the page.
[[File:MakerRepo homepage.png|none|thumb|664x664px]]

=== Create a new project ===
Once logged in, click on '''Create''' to create a '''new project.'''
[[File:New MakerRepo Project.png|none|thumb|668x668px]]

=== Project Details ===
'''Title:''' In the Title box, make sure to name your project properly so users can find it. GNGXXXX-Group-Project name (ex: GNG1103-B1-Wearable wings)

'''Description:''' In the Description box '''summarize your project''' in a few sentences, make sure to include the following:

# Problem statement
# Your solution
# Cost
# Important details/ struggles that people may face while duplicating your design

=== Project Files ===
Make sure to upload '''All''' of your project files including; designs, cad files, code, assembly instructions, market research, BOM, your lab presentation, as well as your final report. Anything that can be used to recreate your designs. Keep in mind the following:

# All project files must be kept up to date throughout the semester
# Standard file types like .pdf, .stl and .txt should be included along with the design files to insure that your project can be viewed without the specific software you used to create it.

=== Pictures ===
Include a minimum of 5 pictures of your design/solution using the '''Gallery'''. Please try your best to take “web worthy” photos (imagine you are selling your solution, make it look '''presentable''') and so that every part of it is shown.

=== Additional Information ===

# '''YouTube Link:''' During the class you have recorded a 1 minute video describing your design/solution as a deliverable. Upload the video on YouTube and submit the link here.
# '''Categories:''' Choose GNG1103/1503 or GNG2101/2501 and any other that you think are relevant. This increases the discoverability of your project.
# '''Equipment:''' Choose the equipment you have used for your project.
