Tools

There are a few tools that are required for assembly. None of these tools are included. If

you don't have them, now would be a good time to borrow or purchase them. They are very

very handy whenever assembling/fixing/modifying electronic devices! I provide links to buy

them, but of course, you should get them whereever is most convenient/inexpensive. Many

of these parts are available in a place like Radio Shack or other (higher quality) DIY

electronics stores.

Soldering iron

Any entry level 'all-in-one' soldering iron that

you might find at your local hardware store

should work. As with most things in life, you get

what you pay for.

Upgrading to a higher end soldering iron setup,

like the Hakko FX-888 that we stock in our

store (http://adafru.it/303), will make soldering

fun and easy.

Do not use a "ColdHeat" soldering iron! They

are not suitable for delicate electronics work

and can damage the kit (see

here (http://adafru.it/aOo)).
