I'm glad you showed how to fix it if they're shorted by accident too :D

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

We are happy this video helps.

[@Bobplayrox]

I was struggling for the last few hours trying to solder up my LCD, this video saved the board! Thank you so much, it was super informative and allowed me to continue my project!

[@jasonjamrs7413]

It makes it look so easy on the best terms of my local electronic store I keep trying and destroying
He has a proper temperature controlled solder station

[@christianmarquez3143]

Thank you. I've been struggling to find a good brief tutorial on the basics of soldering. I was able to solder my LCD and it worked great.
The tips about how much solder to put, what you do if you put too much, how to touch it up, which way to move the tip when done... Really helpful.
Thank you, again. Thumbs up for sure. =)

Hello, can you help me with a question I have on LCD displays. I have to replace a failed 1601 16x1 VER 2.0 bluedisplay. I can't find anywhere a display with the same exact information and I don't know enough about displaysto know if a 1601 is the same as a 1601A as well as the VER 2.0 and if that is critical. The display is for a frequency countercalled a DD-103Thanks, Ken

[@dieguitofer]

Perfect!

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

Thanks for your support!

[@andrewsotnikov5680]

Nice explanation!
Do you use wire with flux?

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

Hi Andrew, since we used the Rosin Core Solder Wire, it doesn't need the flux.

what type of header do you use?

[@danielherrera4476]

thanks, i didnt even know those header pins were for the LCD haha

nice day

[@drxstudio1918]

I can use any Soldering Wire? Nice video! Well explained :]

[@leofranssen2793]

Look at the percentage of “flux”. Flux let’s it melt. I would buy wire with 2 percent flux it.
Also try to buy “clean” wire, eg without lead. Lead is very, very unhealthy.
Cost a bit more but is worth it.
Best regards, Leo The Netherlands.

[@zaief7016]

I have a temperature adjustable soldering iron (180 to 480 degree celsius). What is the suitable temperature to solder header pins to lcd?

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

The best temperature for soldering with electric soldering iron is 280, plus or minus 10 degrees.

[@zaief7016]

@@sunfoundermakereducation8590 Thanks!

[@ArcanePath360]

Thanks. My current soldering blobs are not shiny - is this why I have problems?

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

Could you please tell me more about what problem did you have?

[@ArcanePath360]

Intermittent display. Sometimes no LCD, sometimes no backlight. I thought LCD was bad to I replaced it but I suspect either the wires are bad or my soldering isn't up to scratch.
Thanks

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

ArcanePath360
When you are soldering the pins, please ensure the pins and the pad on LCD have been wrapped by the melt tin as quickly as possible. Please note that the two pins can not be soldered together directly.
You can try to add some melt tin.

[@ArcanePath360]

Melt tin - you mean solder? I did do it quickly but maybe too quickly. I'm guessing I have 1 or 2 cold joints. I also didn't use header pins but directly soldered the wires to the pad.
I would throw it out and get a serial one, but I'm already using the SDA ad SCL pins

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

ArcanePath360
So sorry for the late reply. Did your problem has been solved?

[@rouuuk]

Is that a 3D printer noise in the background?

[@pentacle9783]

What is it called where the header has an slit opening to accept a ribbon cable ?

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

sorry, we can't quite understand what you mean.

[@maciejwozniak94]

hi should it also work without soldering or its necessary? I just 'attached pins', connected it to the board and my lcd turned on but it did not receive any data from Arduino, (double checked the wiring and it s fine)

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

In this case, the wiring connectivity maybe not so stable. we recommend that you to solder the pin and have another try.

[@praveenneevarp4822]

Can we use the display without soldering ( just by inserting the pins ) ?

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

That also works, but the connection may not tight.

[@hilarylatham3917]

The advert for a free kit is very misleading.

[@YeahBoi9880]

Bro please helped. I have covered all the holes with solder before putting the pins.Now I can't get them inside.

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

hi, you may try to hot the holes to shake the solder off. Or you can use a solder sucker.

[@kazimabidi4308]

I soldered it wrong what do I do

[@aeshi001]

hi my display is working fine at first, my supply is a connected to a resistor to change it to 5V(i have also used 7805 voltage regulator IC and 5V zener diodes), but then when the supply (12V battery) is being charged by a DC generator we noticed that the regulating voltages we use is not working anymore which in turn makes the LCD display random characters. Please help! Thanks

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

Dear Norberto,
The voltage problem will cause that the LCD dispaly is not clear, flashing or burn it. Not the random characters, random characters are generally due to the data is not correct, or LCD is not initialized or unstable wiring.
Pls check the situations we have mentioned. If you still can't find it, pls connect with us and provide more details about the problem.

[@aeshi001]

The display is alternating between random ASCII characters and the proper display. But when the generator is not charging the battery the display is at a stable proper display

[@aeshi001]

could the difference in voltage between the datapins and the source pin be a factor in this error? thanks for the reply i really appreciate it

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

Dear Norberto,
It should be the DC generator problem. If you have oscilloscope, you can check the output of 7805, after connected the generator.
In additional to, could you pls provide some picture or circuit diagram about the cables connection? We still can't understand your problem totally.
Looking forward your reply!

[@onlymyrailgununknown2960]

at how many degree you melted the zinn?

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

+OnlyMyRailgun, there is no requirement, about 400 celsius degree is ok, as long as the solder can be melted.

[@NakulKundra]

What soldering bit is that ? is it 900M-t-i ???

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

Yes, the soldering bit in this video is 900M-t-i.

[@brobotm9339]

Can i use wires instead of header pins?

[@sunfoundermakereducation8590]

YES

[@theblazingputtytbp6739]

i took me 5 days

[@scientificelectronics2027]

Why are you holding heater on the pins so long time ?

[@TheMasterOfNone]

So they get warm enough to actually accept the solder.. If you just drop hot solder on a cold pin you'll get a cold connection which doesn't work or works very unreliably.

[@shred_bath_and_beyond8314]
