Solder the Right Motor Wires to the Malenki:
28.
The Right Motor wires go through the “R” “Solder
-
Rings” / “through
-
holes” with the
Red Wire
closest to
the “R” on the Malenki.
29. Soldering wires into through-holes is best done by
soldering the “back” of the board. As with most
soldering, the “work
-
holding” is extremely important.
All components (wires and Malenki in this case)
should be held securely in place by something other
than your hands, allowing you to have the iron in
one hand and the solder in the other hand. Blu-tack
works extremely well to hold the wires and the
Malenki in a position allowing stable access to the
back of the solder holes.
(There are many great soldering
videos on YouTube that are well worth watching if you are new to
soldering. The Turnabot Soldering Videos will be released ASAP.)
30. With well-tinned motor wires securely and safely
held through the through-holes, use the iron to heat
the ring for a moment before sliding it to heat the
wire for another moment, before feeding the solder
to the joint.
31. The ideal solder joint looks like a volcano.
