Step 6: Tin the X, Y and B solder pads
• Next you will want to Tin the pads. Tinning mean you want to coat the pad with solder. This makes connecting

pad and touch the solder to the pad (try avoiding touching the solder to the soldering iron) and the solder
should flow onto the pad. You should end of with three little bubbles of solder like you see below. Anymore that
what you see here is to much and should be removed.
