Solar Air Heater - Part III, Soldering the Converterboard

After printing the circuit board and drilling the holes, the next step was to attach and solder the components.

Below you can see Nick hard at work. We are still looking for a good solution of soldering and recording at the same time. During the second half of the video Dan is also soldering.

Below are all the components. For a larger picture, clicking on the picture will open it in a new tab.

The LEDs turn on if there is input power and output power, respectively, so we can visually determine the status.

The MOSFET is a electric switch. If 5V of power is provided to it, it will turn the output of the board off.
