- | During any soldering, the evaporated flux creates a very unpleasant smoke that irritates the respiratory tract. One of the solutions is to build a simple aid from an older PC ventilator. Connect it to an adjustable power supply and set it on a table in a way that it would blow the some away from the soldering workplace. In order to reduce a noice, the ventilator can be put onto a piece of rubber, for example from an old inner tube of a bike. | + | During any soldering, the evaporated flux creates a very unpleasant smoke that irritates the respiratory tract.

The signal probe input can be connected to MLAB in a following way: the connecting cable is cut to half, part of the cable is stripped of an insulation and a crimp pin connector is crimped onto the cable. Now the cable, via the crimp pin connector, can be easily attached to the probe’s hook and its second end with the original PC terminal, can be connected to the pinch outlets of all modules. | The signal probe input can be connected to MLAB in a following way: the connecting cable is cut to half, part of the cable is stripped of an insulation and a crimp pin connector is crimped onto the cable.
