Hello everyone,
I've actually wondered about this for awhile.. Why is soldering the
via holes recommended? Does it have to do with reliability in any way?
It's possible that I missed it in some of the kits' instructions but
some of the kits don't specifically say to solder them. I could be
wrong though. : )
Thanks,
Andrew Sanchez
