Abstract
Before you begin to build the circuits you will need to be able to arrange components on a board and solder them onto the pins cleanly. The circuit diagrams in this book are based on a rectangular paxolin board with a matrix of holes in it. Pins can be pressed into the board as shown in the constructional exercises. The component is fixed between the pins and then soldered. To get good electrical contact, clean, firm joints are important. The hints below will help you to ensure that you do not get what are called ‘dry’ joints, where electricity is not conducted through the joint.
