Week 14-15:
For us it was out first experience with soldering. We know what to do in theory, but we have no experience in practice. We started with components for another subject, but they we gained a little skill in soldering doing that. Then we came to soldering our board. We managed to do that, but we had problems with some particular elements. First of all we have small spaces between holes for transistors and this task was challenging for us. Second difficulty that we needed to solve was short legs of capacitors. Altium made holes very far from each other, that we hardly managed to solder them. Other problem was that holes for potentometers were too close to each other and too small for legs to fit in. Problem is shown below:
