The first project we had was to solder 10 different components onto a practice board. Since this was my first time ever soldering it was somewhat scary but after doing two or three I got the hang of it and it was rather fun. The picture above is the bottom side of my finished board.
Above is a picture of the top side of my circuit board. Keep in mind that the components on the board are randomly placed and are in no particular spots.
After learning to solder, we learned how to strip wires and make but joints. This would prove important for making our power supply. We also covered each joint with heat shrink wrapping to protect it.
Speaking of which, here is my Samsung 5v power supply. The two prongs are very close together and we're very difficult to solder to the other two wires.
After testing the power supply we learned about breadboards and resisters. We used our breadboard to light up an LED light shown above.
