just ordered parts for a grand total of $17
and that includes 2 times the parts required in case i mess up.
and $5.12 for the resistors
ok so just got the parts in the mail and now i see why yall were wishing me luck lol:
man are these tiny. ill be stopping by my neighborhood electronics store to get a smaller iron tip and some solder wick for the desoldering. ill be starting it tomorrow. wish me more luck lol
and its finished:
i will say it was more difficult than i expected yet was way easier than you would think.
the reason i said it was more difficult than i planned is because on the resistor leads:
pay attention to the blue writing. the leads on that side of the resistor are attached by very thin traces and it does not stick to the board well. during desoldering i messed up 2 leads before i realized they were that fragile(learning curve lol) even though it isnt too noticeable. i also was trying to use too large of a tip. i had to go buy one after i noticed the second trace was destroyed.
this project is really easy except for the desoldering. overall i think it turned out nice. thanks for looking!
