If you see i used a soldering iron before when i learnt soldering in 2012.
I was gifted a soldering gun in 2014 which has a smaller tip for soldering the PCB.
The first circuit i created using this soldering gun was a 555 IC tone generator
making circuits on breadboard is easy as it does not require soldering.
before i learnt soldering in 2012 i used to make all circuits on breadboard only.
then i learnt soldering using a soldering iron on a PCB
even now i first try out making new circuits on this breadboard.
then i solder them on PCB
