To solder with flux, simply follow the steps of soldering from the previous lesson, except before tinning the wire, stick the soldering iron into the flux and apply it on the wires. This will make the solder flow easier, but is not always necessary. Here’s a helpful video that demonstrates this.

Through-hole soldering is another form a soldering used on the Pi on the drone. This is simply when a wire is stuck through a previously made hole on a PCB. To complete through hole soldering, tin the wire, stick it through the pre-made hole, and solder the tip of the wire to the metal surrounding the hole. This video is a great demonsration on this technique.
