Learning How to Solder

In the following figure, you can see how I ve prepared all parts:
I ve used a helping hand, a useful tool for locking parts into a position. Helping
hands usually come with a magnifying glass, and they are cheap. If you plan
to solder often, you should get one—they justify their name.
After you ve prepared everything, it s time to heat up the soldering iron. The
main purpose of soldering is to join metallic surfaces. In our case, we d like
to join the surface of the pin header with the metal in the breakout board. To
achieve this, we ll heat up the metallic parts and then connect them using
molten solder.
