Well worth the money and an absolute must for anyone starting out with SMD soldering. After recently mangling a circuit board on a rather expensive device, I decided it was time to get some proper practice in. In hindsight, I definitely should have bought this kit before attempting real-world soldering. The kit comes with a generous assortment of resistors, capacitors, diodes, LEDs, transistors, and ICs. The first section features six practice columns where the components get progressively smaller from left to right, which is perfect for building up your confidence and skill. A detailed datasheet is included, showing the quantities, placement, and orientation of each part. There’s even a small amount of solder provided. Once completed, the circuit lights up in a rotating, flashing “flow lamp” pattern, which is a satisfying reward for your effort. At first, I found it a bit intimidating. Staring at all those tiny parts, I wasn’t sure where to begin. Then I noticed the layout and started from the left with the larger components. The parts list helped me separate the practice components from those used in the final circuit, and soon enough I got into a rhythm. My method was to tin one pad, hold the component in place with tweezers, heat the pad until it settled, and then solder the other side. The first few were tricky, but after a few sessions I could see real improvement. By the time I reached the smallest capacitors in the fifth column, I was soldering them almost perfectly. This kit has taught me a huge amount about SMD soldering. I even upgraded my tools with better flux, tweezers, and a new iron. My first pair of tweezers were awful, and one resistor went flying across the room, but thankfully the kit includes spares. For the price, I couldn’t be happier. I’m even tempted to buy another one to practice hot air soldering next. Thanks to this kit, I now feel confident working on handheld devices that I never would have touched before. For beginners, it’s a fun and affordable way to learn. It’s cheaper than Lego, but just as enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Le descrizioni sono abbastanza chiare anche se è facile confondere i pezzi: consiglio vivamente di leggere il manualetto con attenzione ed appuntarsi i vari pezzi in base alle dimensioni e quantità. A parte questo è di ottima fattura ed è possibile verificarne il funzionamento anche gradualmente.

Geweldig product om als beginner te leren solderen. Het is even puzzelen om de juiste componenten te matchen met het bord, maar het is een onderdeel van het leerproces. Het feit dat je kan testen of het werkt is een voordeel. Zo weet je of je het echt goed gesoldeerd hebt. Een aanrader.

Ce kit est composé d'un PCB, de composants à souder de différentes tailles et types, d'une notice et enfin d'un fil d'étain de 0,5 mm. le montage est divisé en deux phases : la phase d'apprentissage, dans laquelle les composants sont soudés (résistances et condensateurs de 1206 à 0402) afin de se familiariser avec la technique, et la deuxième phase dans laquelle les composants d'un circuit constitué d'un oscillateur astable (NE555) suivi d'un diviseur 4017 avec quelques diodes et transistors pour piloter 14 LED (voir schéma sur la photo). Le kit, est simple et intéressant et je le recommande vivement. Personnellement j'ai commencé à souder avec de la pâte à souder et de l'air chaud, mais pas satisfait j'ai fini avec du flux + fil d'étain et du fer à souder. Une loupe est obligatoire (du moins pour mes yeux) pour les composants 0603 et 0402. Une fois la phase 1 terminée, nous pouvons vérifier la résistance totale avec un multimètre, en la mesurant à partir des points en bas (ils sont en série, donc la résistance totale est la somme). Même chose pour les capacités, elles sont en parallèle, donc la capacité totale sur les points de test sera la somme de toutes les capacités de cette colonne. Pour la phase 2, je recommande de souder d'abord les composants passifs, puis les actifs. Faites attention aux polarités des diodes LED et non LED. Le circuit est simple et devrait fonctionner du premier coup ! PS : la notice est en anglais, Enjoy :)
