Tutorial

Soldering Microcontroller and Basic Parts

The first step in soldering this board is also the most difficult: Soldering the microcontroller. We are going to use the drag soldering technique. To do so, we first place the microcontroller on the board to get an idea of how it should be placed afterwards. Note the pin one mark which is a small dip in one corner of the IC. This is used to orient it correctly:

• 

Now remove the microcontroller again, select one pad of the pcb and tin it:

• 
• 
• 

Now grab the microcontroller with a pair of tweezers, heat up the tinned pad and place the microcontroller correctly. Do not overheat the microcontroller: If you are not able to position the microcontroller within about 10 seconds remove the soldering iron and try again after waiting a short amount of time.

• 
• 
• 

To further secure it, also solder one pin on the opposite corner.
