Need an iron and solder recommendations for some thru hole synth kits. Leaded or lead free for a noob?
minus-squarehobata@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·17 days agoI would recommend pinecil soldering iron to you. Best 26 Bucks I’ve ever spent.
minus-squarethe_weez@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·17 days agoWhile I agree, I think it’s important to note that you also need a high wattage USB C power supply to go with it, so a bit more than $26 at the end of it if you don’t have one that works already.
minus-squarefilcuk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·17 days agoGood to highlight, though eho doesn’t have a PD C charger at home these days? Just plug the one from your laptop, switch, etc.
