Well, all these adds up to experience.
Btw, breadboard is plastic too right? Can it withstand the solder heat?
And plus, i just started to learn how to solder, i had a few cold solder. Bad.

In a way, true also. The more you do, the more experience you get. Learn through mistakes....

you don't solder on breadboard.

a soldering aid like the soldering helper with arms are cheap rm20ish only and is a good buy if you solder often.

solder iron wattage also important. I use a 60-100w for car wires that are thick, and 25-40w for components.

breadboard was designed to hold electronic parts and soldered...

one face plastic...another face got copper strip for soldering...



another type of bread board is cucuk2 type...just insert the leg...and good to go (self locking port)

Hmm, nvm. DIY better.

With brakes applied.

Just with lights on, no brakes applied.

I decided not to post up the way i finished my project because it's kind of hazardous. It's not that waterproof.

If anyone wants some tips and tricks, can PM me. I will see if I can help out.
