Cheapo iron - the unwritten manual
Added 2024-11-23 23:50:57 +0000 UTCOne of the most fun things to do with the Chinese clones and modules is work out how to actually use them. Especially when the abbreviated menu names bear no relation to the actual function.
It's like a puzzle.

2024-12-04 21:03:53 +0000 UTCYou can get it from Ali Express. Search for 60/40 solder. The description (as always) is not very specific but if you check the pictures of the reels, they do state Sn/Pb or Tin/Lead/Flux ... here's one. https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005008065632109.html

2024-12-04 20:56:23 +0000 UTCMaybe find an American site that will ship to the UK? We still have good old fashioned 60/40 (tin/lead) solder readily available here. Although post-pandemic international shipping rates are ridiculous.

2024-12-03 03:28:16 +0000 UTCI've not bought lead based solder in a very long time. I stocked up on it when I realised it was being banned. Be wary of eBay lead solder, it can be weird alloys and have the flux core missing in sections.
