Two weeks ago, I shared a post about repairing soldering iron at home. Initially, I attempted to fix it by unwinding and rewinding the heating coil myself. However, I suspect the rewinding wasn’t done correctly, as the repair didn’t work. Eventual…
I always forget the distance between two pins of Arduino header pins, prefboard etc which is actually a standard value. For record the spacing is 0.1 inch which is 2. 44 mm. Here’s a breakdown for each: 1. Arduino Headers : Pin spacing : 2.54 m…
After being fed up of buying new soldering iron because they easily get damaged(I had just bought a new one which stopped working only after a week) and I have three of them and because soldering iron is essential tool for building electronics circu…
I wanted to de-solder components( inrush current limiting resistor , PC817C optocoupler and, S8050 Transistor etc) of a CFL bulb and mobile adapters to learn about AC to DC power supply, voltage regulator and SMPS(switched mode power supplu. Bu…
Have you ever stumbled upon a YouTube video that shows how to create a welding machine using a battery's inner carbon graphite rod and a motorcycle spark plug? It might seem like an ingenious hack, but before you dive in, it's important to u…
When choosing materials for electrodes in an electrolysis setup, the decision between aluminum, iron, and steel depends on various factors including the type of electrolysis, the electrolyte used, and the desired outcomes. Here’s a comparison of…
Here, I'll walk you through a unique experiment I conducted to clean a soldering tip using electrolysis. The setup involved a glass filled with water and regular salt, a soldering tip, a bolt, a handheld drilling machine power adaptor, and a Mag…
You might sometimes want to solder copper wire to aluminum sheet or piece and use the aluminum as your conductor. Also you might want to know what simple chemicals you could use for that bonding to work. Lemon is easy to get around and so why not us…
Aluminum soldering flux is a specialized chemical compound used to facilitate the soldering process when working with aluminum and its alloys. The primary purpose of this flux is to remove and prevent the formation of aluminum oxide, which naturally…
Soldering iron tips are essential tools for any electronics enthusiast or professional. Proper care and maintenance of these tips can significantly extend their lifespan, ensuring consistent performance and saving you money. In this blog post, we…
