By: Charles Gantt
In this tutorial I will cover soldering through hole components to a PCB. To do this I will be setting up a Arduino Proto-Shield remixed from Seeed Studio. So heat up your iron and get ready to melt some metal.

good tip on bending the outermost pins on the headers, I hadn't thought of that! I usually hold the board in one clip of my helping hands and the header in the other, and balance it all just right until I get one pin soldered lol

This makes me nervous.
I don't have a decent soldering gun.
Yes, it's a Weller. However, the recent tips are dang expensive. The frustrating part about them is the fact the last two literally split from overheating, NOT from force.
