Some FPGA boards we use for our Verilog Meetup are sold with unsoldered headers. I created an updated instruction on basic soldering, with a video. A simple dance-like movement:
1. Heat the joint from one side.
2. Add the solder wire from the opposite side.
3. Let the wire melt.
4. Remove the wire.
5. Remove the iron.
The whole thing should take 3 seconds and the proper temperature should be between 300-330 С or 570-630 F for the Sn63/Pb37 solder wire we are using.
