So I just bought that soldering station, what’s the recommended temp for the blower with desoldering a pi
Does that silicone mat create or hold static?
Flush cutters!
New sub, great video and nice studio I’ll look forward to further content 😁
Good to see a face to the name and voice =D!
I’d also get a small fan to push the smoke away while soldering
Why didn’t you include DC power supply?
You are the king
is there a subscription box type of service for electronic kits to play around ??? @wermy
What kind of LED’s are you using around your office?
I got a soldering station with heat gun
hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about
repair guides
try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got great results with it.
nice video
Wermy, you inspired me to tap into my childhood with your GBZ videos. I’m almost done with an ABXY LR game boy color zero that I’ll post on the Sudomod forums once I’m finished. It isn’t perfect, but it would’ve been a lot worse without your videos helping me along the way. So thanks!
Alagator cables can be helpful
make a portable raspbery pi gaming machine
Why do you have so many subs but so little views? (not hating love your vids)
You look like a cartoon character, in a good way! I really enjoy your channel btw. Thanks for the inspiration.

Its Wermy!~
Hi wermy! New sub here. I am fascinated by your RetroPie projects. My Dad has always been into electronics and when I was a little girl he and I did some little "projects" together (I basically watched him make stuff) Unfortunately now he’s got terminal cancer and I want us to do a project together for old times and memories. I really want to put together a Game Boy Zero but I have no soldering experience minus a few things he showed me when I was a little girl. I don’t think he’s strong enough to do more than just teach me soldering and guide me through a build so I’d need it to be very simple. Would Kite’s board fit the bill? And if so, how do I get my hands on one?
Thanks for this video, want to gt more intro electronics and soldering.
Going to get some tools overtime for my wicked fix table 😀
!!!! love the workspace!! good to finally put a face to the voice, been watching for a while, your videos are great, and I wanna try to make a GBZ someday soon using your tutorials 🙂 Keep up the great work!!
I always figured I was "ok" at soldering, but not very good. Never could do anything fancy, and couldn’t get to small areas easily. Until I bought a proper Hakko set – in my case the FX-888D. Suddenly I found out that I could solder, and solder pretty well, considering. Hands still shake, and I still need to learn the value of proper heat application and tip selection, but overall, the amount that a decent soldering iron will improve your soldering skills cannot be overstated.
Nice video. What are your thoughts on this soldering iron? https://youtu.be/a96rydtInW0
Will you be posting you circuit sword build this month or are you waiting for the newest release?
You’re awesome man. You’ve encouraged me to really start tinkering around to make my own creations!
i thought you were a worm with hands
I love my multimeter kit mine also came with a non conductive voltage detector and a ground thing
I have almost the same soldering station
Hey wermy! I know you wanna focus on tools and hardware but I would really like seeing a video tutorial of everything that kan be improved on the software part of the GBZ project, like how to change resolution and aspect ratio, how to overclock the pi correctly for each of the systems, how to change the scale of the letters in the main menu, hide unnecesary messages and so on… it would be awsome. Thanks for getting me into electronics, its a new hobby that gives me a tone of funn 😀
OMG you’r face!
interesting points ,if anyone else is searching for
repair laptop
try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.
Will a cheap soldering iron work that’s all I have for and by the way good video
nice
Top 10 YouTuber face reveals
Your vedio is osm ..
haven’t seen a video of your in quite a while, you’re video production quality got a ton better since then! Good job c:
@10:10 “…stick the tip in there and wiggle it around…” LMAO
Don’t forget to clean ur tip
hey wermy, great video as always 🙂 could you do some kind of soldering tutorial? i really want to build a gameboy zero but i have no experience with soldering… keep up the good work 🙂
Good stuff. 🙂 I have a pretty bad set of helping hands which often does more to get in the way than to help. Those QuadHands look great! I’m also trying to learn more about circuit design, building a lightsaber driver in Kicad. Because, well, shiny things. Can’t have enough shiny things.
Three things right off. 1 Meter. It should have an auto shut down, and I have been in situations where measurements were stipulated to be "True RMS". so, just get a meter that has both. I have an Amprobe that does both, but, Why not get another option while filling both objectives , for less money. Third opting which I’ve found to be REALLY handy is a Clamp Meter. You can get a Clamp meter , true rms, dc current, auto shut off, for very little. In May 2017 I paid $30 for my UT210E and its an amazing tool.
2. A hot air station. For right around $50 you can be ready to do everything you would do with a 30 dollar soldering station plus be able to use "solder paste" and mount super small smd surface mount components. You can also remove Surface Mount smd components. Worth every penny. You’ll need a good pair of tweezers for it.
3 a couple of cheap gadgets from ebay . Get the DSO138 oscilloscope. You will need to spend about $150 or more to beat this cheap instrument. It works very well. Don’t get the kit. ALSO, get one of the cheap component testers. The kit is ok with this one. Amazing what you can find out about components with it. They have a screen that shows you (identifies) most semiconductors, diodes, measures capacitors, and many other components !
This video was perfect 🙂 I’ve been messing around with basic electronics for a long time, but on a tight budget, so I haven’t really looked at some of these things before. I’ll definitely be ordering one of those magnetic silicone mats now though.
Do NOT purchase I cheap soldering iron, most especially ones which do not have a dedicated power supply. Please, if you are a beginner stick to the name brands, the Weller WLC100 40-Watt Soldering Station was my first iron and is priced at just $33.96 on amazon.
YOU DESERVE BETTER!

is sadder same thing as solder ?
Pretty cool video. I wish I would have seen it when I first started soldering. Would have saved a lot of time. Especially the solder wick. Just wish people had it local ants I didn’t have to order it.
Get some braces
I made a retropi from following random video’s online, but seeing you make all those cool mods; VMU, Gameboy 0, minty pi etc. Really Really makes me want to do this!! The only thing holding me back is… at 32 years old I have never soldered anything :(. I love these videos. Is it really easy to do? Would you make a vid about basic soldering electronics etc. for newbs like me?
this is suite
