Does it hurt anything if your points that you solder aren't completly soldered. like if you soldered only half of one of the pins on the pin header.

it only needs a contact so it doesnt realy matter but it w'ont last so you better get it nice and full iron all around the pin !

I put up a cool site on this post

It has some mpegs about soldering...

Also get yourself a multimeter... they're cheap...




This one's $16.00 at Radio Shack.

That way you can check you connections and, more importantly, if you crossed any connections when you solder...
