Aliexpress DIY Bluetooth speaker build and giveaway 

That's awesome! Depending on what the schematic shows, it is possible some pins are meant to be soldered together. I would say for the most part you should solder them individually, but when you look at the PCB sometimes you can see that the pads are tied together. They do this for reasons like multiple outputs to sink more current and things like that. Also, it may appear that I am soldering them together, but that could be for speed, and then I go back and separate any pins that should not be shorted together. That is decades of experience in soldering and knowing what should or shouldn't be connected. The traces and pads on the PCB will tell you what should be connected together. Make sure to triple check your work against the schematic and, if possible, use an ohmmeter to verify the connections before you apply power. Sort of like measure twice cut once... Thanks for the comment and good luck.

@@icemanfiveoh Thanks for your input! I'll definitely check every connection with the mulitmeter when i'm done :)

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!

@@icemanfiveoh I did thank you and the info about the jumpers has helped me massively as I am making the same kit,thank you so much

You are the winner! giveaway video is live now. DM me on Insta (Icemanfiveoh) and i'll send it out! Thanks for watching and participating in the giveaway!

@@icemanfiveoh Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I'm not on Insta, FB, etc. If you must, please give it to someone who is. Thanks again for giving back to the community.

Email me at Icemanfiveoh@gmail.com and I can get your details that way.

whenever the song goes high like getting a high pitch or going chorus it stops.

How are you powering it? Almost seems like whatever you have it plugged into isn’t supplying enough current. I would try plugging it into a brick or something that can deliver more power. Let me know if that makes a difference…

@@icemanfiveoh Hi! I noticed the LEDs turn from bright blue to pale blue whenver I turn the volume up, perhaps the problem is the resistance? The same as my problem above? Or is it current?

Capacitors block Bass. Inductors block treble. If you want less bass out of the speakers, you can solder the cap across the speaker inputs. It's optional IMHO. If it sounds ok, I wouldn't add them. Thanks for the comment!

@@icemanfiveoh Thank you as well!

I’m going to do the giveaway around 11am central time Monday January 16th. I’ll do a video and pick the winner with a comment generator. I’ll then let the winner know and then I can get their details for shipping.

I think it .030... Pretty tiny. You can always add more! Thanks for the comment!

Since it's an RF Hakko, It has set temperature tips. I use the yellow tips mostly, which I believe are 825F. Make sure you aren't using lead free solder, that stuff is the worst. And liquid flux foes a long way, even if you use rosin core solder. Good luck on your future projects!

So much excited . When you are publishing that video ?

I will be editing and uploading that video around 3pm central standard time. I will leave that video's link here in the comments of this video as well.

Without looking back at the video, I can't say for certain. But I have a feeling they were probably capacitors. Thanks for the comment!

I will be doing the giveaway tomorrow. I had some things come up today. Sorry about that.

@@icemanfiveoh Ok no problem.

Can you get fed ex packages there? That’s how I would ship it. Some countries have been having issues with accepting fed ex packages due to worker shortages.

@@icemanfiveoh Yes I just check . Fed ex package from other countries to india available. Can I share this video with my friends so that they can participate in this giveaway and will subscribe your channel.

Sure. No problem.

@@icemanfiveoh Thanks
