I need to wire something up, and I have not soldered in 15 years.
Medium wiring, 5 to 24v. Compared to the past : my soldering iron actually has a temp display and i’m using some kind of siringe instead of fat. Any Tips?

Depends on the type of solder you have, some melt fine at 350, some need a little bit extra, I think lead free melt at higher temps. Play around with the solder you have, it’s pretty cheap and you can clean it off.
Yes, lead-free is more of a pain to work with in my experience. If the device/wire is already tinned with lead free, it can be doped with leaded solder from the iron to make it behave a little bit more nicely.
