Introduction: Electronics Workshop

By

If you are a science enthusiast or a robotics student you need the tools to work .

In this instructable I'm going to show you all the tools you are going to need

Step 1: Electronics for Beginners

Whether you are a beginner in electronics or you need to make a fixed circuit you should first prototype it in a breadboard

A breadboard is a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting their leads or terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires where appropriate.

To use it you need some single strand wires,a stripper and the components to use (Capacitors, LEDs, Switches, Resistors, Coils, Relays, ICs, Transistors, diodes, etc

Step 2: Soldering

Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and then flowing a filler metal into the joint—the filler metal having a relatively low melting point. Soldering is used to form a permanent connection between electronic components.

For beginners you do not need the best soldering iron, a normal 30 watt one will do, but if you are really getting into it you should buy a soldering station such as in the photo, you should also have a sponge or a steel mesh to clean the tip.

For soldering you also need solder wire(rosin core(NO ACID CORE)).

And you will surely need a helping hand(Third Hand) which is really helpful.

A fume extractor (which can be made with a computer fan and carbon filter) will extract the harmful fumes of the solder wire

After Soldering wires you should cover them up with heat shrink. To shrink them people use heat gun but you can also shrink it with a lighter or matches.

After soldering you need to clean the component or the area soldered with IPA(isopropyl alcohol) which we can get in a chemist or drug shop(not sure).

Step 3: Desoldering

In electronics, desoldering is the removal of solder and components from a circuit board for troubleshooting, repair, replacement, and salvage.

I use either desolder braid or desoldering pump to suck in the solder.

(1)HOW TO USE:First keep the braid on the solder/component and then keep the soldering iron on the braid.You will see that the braid sucks the solder and free the component

(2)HOW TO USE:first Heat the solder and keep the compressed pump on it and press the release button

IN MY VIEW THE BRAID IS BETTER THAN THE PUMP

Step 4: Safety and Storage and Tools

While Soldering the solder splashes and believe me you don't want it in you eye,so you need a protective eyewear.

To store your components you need some component boxes.

While soldering the components get too hot or too small to hold that is why you need a needle nose or curved tip tweezers and you will need a pliers to bend components, etc.

You will need a screwdriver set to remove machines or to reassemble them.

A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter), is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit.
