Hello,
So I am kinda new to all this, I have my circuit made out on a breadboard using those nice jumper wires and it all works perfect. So I went to my local place and bought 2 plates of "veroboard" ( board with holes and strips ). I have managed to screw up both plates, with messy solder blobs and burnt strips etc...
I am able to solder two copper wires together, and I know the nice shiny silver look it should have, but this veroboard soldering is hard.
First I am unable to solder either jumper wire or copper wire to the strips, the legs of a resister same thing. I tin the solder iron tip, place it one side of the component leg, and wait on the other side with my solder wire and wait wand wait - sometimes it works mainly by me taping the wire off the iron tip and hoping some sticks. As for soldering the wire to the veroboard strips - i have zero clue.
Anyone any help ? advice ?
