Learning to Solder a Noise Maker

The battery-powered noisemaker consists of a PCB (printed circuit board), a small number of components, and a speaker. These are soldered together to complete the build.

The tutorial guides you through identifying and safely using the tools needed, including the basics of soldering components using a soldering iron, and the techniques used to get good solder joints. The step-by-step guide will help with identifying each part, and learning how to prepare and solder them to the PCB.

Based on a well-known circuit, the simple PCB was custom designed for beginners and has a small number of parts. Even though the circuit is simple, the finished result is an experimental sound-making instrument – a very basic synthesiser.
