"It’s sad to think of all the awesome things that won’t be built because some folks are turned off by the idea of soldering. Such missed opportunity! Soldering is the fun!" -Collin Cunningham, Adafruit Industries
Our Little Bird technical support team have been working really hard to develop a workshop, school or labatory kit for the purpose of soldering - the art of welding small electronics components.
We use this kit internally on a daily basis and now we would like to share our trade secrets with our community.
This kit contains an out of the box electronics lab workstation - the only thing we are not including is a desk, but we're sure you can sort that out.
Everything in this kit is specified for Australia, all cables have Australian plugs and tested and certified to comply with Australian Standards.
This kit contains the basic lab soldering equipment to get you soldering and perhaps desoldering both though hole and also surface mount components. It contains the following parts:
- 500watt soldering station (iron and hot air gun)
- Fume extractor
- 60/40 Sn/Pb soldering wire
- Six piece tweezer set
- Soldering iron tip cleaner
- Solder reel stand
- Flux
- Flux remover
