This is super interesting - would you recommend to someone who has never soldered before?


Get yourself a cheap soldering iron with a fine tip, and practice making rows of tiny dots on a piece of cardboard first.


Apparently not. I'm devastated! There's a redditor in California offering to do it for people.

Sadly I'm in Australia and the postal systems are crazy right now.


As am I, maybe this can be a lockdown skill to learn


Its quite an easy install, get yourself a narrow SMD tip and take it slowly. The only fiddly bit is soldering the sense wire onto the capacitor pad.


Thanks I might learn soldering during this lockdown
