Soldering a Raspberry Pi Zero board

So you have a lovely, tiny, amazing Pi Zero - congratulations.

But you want to attach some electronics to it via the GPIO header, perhaps even start using the brilliant [Sintron] T-Cobbler Plus 40 Pin GPIO Extension Board with 40 Pin Rainbow Color Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi B+ Plus, right?

Well, first you need to take a soldering iron to your new toy. Which, if your anything like me, means first buying a soldering iron and then trying to remember how to use the thing! GCSE electronics training, don’t fail me now!

To help, I did what most do, turned to YouTube, where some helpful souls have already documented how to do this, including a few handy tips!

Here are the two videos I found most useful :
