Hey guys
I finished my first prototype (rgb led controller with Arduino) and want a more permanent solution.
So I bought some perf board, a solder station (45W 150*C - 450*C) and helping hands (and other stuff). I heated the solder pen up to around 330*C Like suggested by a lot of youtube videos. But before actually soldering stuff to the perfboard, I wanted to practice first. I stripped some wires, put them in the helping hands and put the solder pen against the copper wire (again suggested in a lot of youtube videos). Then when the copper was hot of a few seconds I applied the solder to the copper and it worked.
Now my question is if the vapor/fume that came of it while applying the solder is toxic. I used 60/40 (Sn/Pb) solder Link - https://www.gotron.be/en/solderen/t...d-1mm-100gr.html?___store=en&___from_store=nl
I didn't breathe it in, but I wonder how toxic it is, any solutions , place a fan next to it to suck it away ?
Thanks in advance
Jake
