Monday morning soldering

A project log for DIAVOX Cellphone

Turning an old diavox phone into a cellphone. No smart stuff, just a telephone. Pick up the handset and dial just like the old days.

I did some soldering this morning. I soldered the Switch DIP module, a TPS regulator module in standing cofiguration and a USB-C connecter DIP module which I managed to mess up. So how did I mess it up? Well, I soldered the connector on the wrong side of the board... it isn't a much of a problem but even using a solder sucker and solder wick I couldn't get all the solder to remove it from the board. I do not have a hot air gun so I guess I'll have to do without it.

Looking at the picture I should have soldered both sides of the potentiometer pins on the board.
