It’s been a while since we’ve had a fresh How-To on the Hack-A-Day, and frankly we’ve missed them.

I know that soldering won’t be new to many of our readers, but everyone has to start sometime. Our hope is simple: that this new series of How-To’s will help inspire new and experienced hackers alike.
