Having a bit of Soldering troubles...

Post by retrodelee » Fri Feb 26, 2010 10:45 pm

So I decided to redo a portable, and wanted to use a few radioshack pcb for the control board.

Do any of you have tips on soldering the tact switches onto these boards? I can't really get them to stay properly.

I'm using radioshack solder.
I re-ordered different tact switches. The ones I had really didn't have much for legs. The ones I ordered stick through the PCB. I should be good to go now. Thanks
