Tinning
(Do NOT tin the Malenki)
:
20. Start by putting flux on ALL 15 of the wire
ends, the 2 Switch Terminals, and all 4 of the
Motor Terminals.
(Flux is very sticky, take care not to get
it on anything you don’t want it on. We use a small tray to
contain it. It is well worth using flux it gets the solder to flow
where you want it with significantly less heating of parts.)
21. Set everything up so that you can tin all the
wires and terminals.
(Tinning is getting a bulb of solder
onto all the components that you will be soldering.)
*Do not tin the Malenki*
22. Tinning basics:
a) Heat the iron
b) Clean your iron tip
c)
Touch the solder to the iron to put a drop (aka “pillow”) of
solder on it to improve heat transfer to the wire
d)
Touch the iron to the “back” of the wire or component to
support it as you heat it. Particularly if you fluxed your wire
or component, after a moment you will see the solder from
the iron wick into the wire or component.
e)
You can then feed solder into the “front” of the wire or
component. You’ll want to get enough solder into / onto the
wire or component that many joints have enough solder
already on the mating parts that they don’t require
additional solder. That said, with combat robots you’ll often
add solder to make the joints as strong as possible.
