#259 Desoldering Chips the Easy Way & Waterproofing💦Wire Joins

Video Description

Two tips that have helped me when constructing Arduino projects. ► PCBWay $5 for 10 pieces https://www.pcbway.com So it's a more practical video this week as I share a couple of tips on how to desolder chips from PCBs without destroying either the chip, the PCB or neighbouring components. And how to join two low-voltage wires for (outdoor) use to make them strong and waterproof (mine's going into my goldfish pond!) As always, MUCH MORE INFORMATION in my GitHub for this video! https://bit.ly/GitHub_DesolderingAlloy_StickyHeatShrink ► HARDWARE MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO 4:1 ratio adhesive heat shrink box (Amazon) https://amzn.to/3RzHpdo Chipquik SMD1NL ChipQuik Surface Mount Removal Kit https://amzn.to/3jEvheD Isopropanol Alcohol IPA 99.99% - Pure Chem (White) 500ml https://amzn.to/3HC8Ej5 Louis Rossmann video (with Steve Burke from GamersNexus ) showing that you can never use too much flux when soldering PCBs, so funny https://bit.ly/LouisRossmann-NeverTooMuchFlux ► List of all my videos (Special thanks to Michael Kurt Vogel for compiling this) http://bit.ly/YouTubeVideoList-RalphBacon ► If you like this video please give it a thumbs up, share it and if you're not already subscribed please consider doing so and joining me on my Arduinite (and other μControllers) journey My channel, GitHub and blog are here: ------------------------------------------------------------------ • https://www.youtube.com/RalphBacon • https://ralphbacon.blog • https://github.com/RalphBacon • https://buymeacoffee.com/ralphbacon ------------------------------------------------------------------ My ABOUT page with email address: https://www.youtube.com/c/RalphBacon/about
