Soldering the jumpers

Open pstapley opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

I am having trouble getting the solder to bridge the gap on the jumpers, any suggestions?

What does it look like? Are you using Flux?

Yeah I am using flux, I will get a picture for you. Actually I am not sure if my phone will focus that closely. The solder balls on the pads but won't cross the "v".

How much solder are you using? The readme images look like they use a lot. Try adding solder to both sides individually then join them

A lot, the excess just sticks to the iron. I will give your suggestion a shot, thanks!

Something else you could try is use a jumper wire to join them, if you have any wire you can trim to size

Yeah I was hoping not to resort to that but I will if I can't get it to work with just solder. Thanks!
