5. Build Steps
There is a full build guide video here:
1. Gather the panel, tools, pcb, and jacks.
2. Place the jacks into the holes as shown above.
3. Solder the Jacks – To view a video example, go to:
Soldering is the heart and soul of DIY electronics, and it’s why I suggest getting a nice
soldering iron. Only use enough solder to get the job done. Most soldering problems arise by
using too much solder. It is easy to get carried away or frustrated and glob a blob of solder
on the connection. For this kit, I have my iron at 550 degrees Fahrenheit (287 Celcius). Heat
the connection for about half a second before you apply solder. This preheating will prevent
the molten solder from hitting cold metal and cooling too fast. This results in what’s called a
‘cold solder joint’, which is a loose connection where the solder did not adhere to the metal.
