BANDWIDTH LIMIT EXCEEDED In a nutshell, every […]

This is how I solder small SMD LEDs. Thanks to okyoskar_1.87 who demonstrated this easy technique. For me, I would be using those grey 3M double-sided tapes instead as their glue kind of last longer against the soldering iron’s heat. So, just lay the SMD LEDs with their solder contacts face up. They are polarity […]
