@GaryGhost@lemmy.world

@mesamunefire@piefed.social go to adafruit or sparkfun (there are others) and pick up a "learn how to solder" kit of a type that looks interesting an put it together. Those kits will have instructions that give you a good chance of success and give you practice. They are also cheap so you don't mess up something expensive if you make a mistake learning.
