Hi from Minnesota, USA!

Hello everyone!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post! :slight_smile:
I haven’t received my Makerbuino yet, but I’m super excited to get started.
This will be my first time soldering anything, so I hope I don’t mess up too badly… but hey, if a kid can do it, so can I - right?
I chose the kit with tools, since I don’t already have my own. I also picked yellow buttons for a bright, sunshiny pop of color. And I ordered a 3D printed back plate in transparent red to match the PCB and show off the guts that I will have proudly assembled! :smile:

Exciting.
The first solder project is always something special.

Here is a videos, and a guide for you preparation:
