My First LE. Need feedback regarding solder joints

[salongaopm]

Hi!

I have just finished my first LE. Five more to go. Just want to post pictures and get some feedback weather I need to add more solder or remove some before I start working on the second LE. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

To me, the amount of solder looks good. It might be good to have a *little* more on a few of them (where the solder is drawn-down flush with the board surface), but overall, to me, it looks really good!

It looks a whole lot better than my first one.
Each one will be exponentially better.
You didn't say if it passed the tests and is working.

It looked excellent to me. 

Be sure you don't linger on the pads too long.

Good looking controller if you ask me!

Thank you for all the replies.

Ok, I will look at again and add more.

It did pass the test as shown on picture #2. The first chip didn't work so I have to replace it with another one from my other set.

Be sure you don't linger on the pads too long.

I have to crank up the temp to 350 because it is taking too long for the solder to melt and adhere. I need to work more on my soldering technique.


A Texas size THANKS to you RJ for all your hard work. You made it alot easier for all of us especially to a newbie like me. The video manual was exceptionally helpful.

Again, thank you!
