hi there,
i got myself everything to build the Raspberry Pi WiFi Radio, and found some day before a very inexpensive soldering iron kit (with i believe inapropriate diameter, too big), anyway i tried.. It was my first experience soldering, i was pretty shaky...
Following the lcd guide : https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-16x ... spberry-pi , i began with the resistors and BAM, big drop falls and merge two resitiors (see pic).. the same happened again after with the 18 pin header for the lcd screen (see pic). Everything else should be fine. I'm wondering if it stil works, or if the screen is won't be usable?

Thanks for the help.
Sorry for my english.
Raph.

Re: Raspberry Pi WiFi Radio (soldering question)
It won't work that way. You'll have to remove the excess solder. You can use a solder sucker or solder wick:
