General Assembly Information
We’re sure that you are ready to get started, but before you do you will need to get some tools
together. The tools that you will need are:
___ Low-wattage soldering iron, 15W or less, with a fine conical tip
___ Small needle-nose pliers
___ Small diagonal cutters
___ Tweezers to handle the SMT parts
___ A small damp sponge for cleaning the tip of your soldering iron
___ A lighted magnifier, for inspecting solder joints (not essential, but very helpful)
___ A jeweler’s loupe or small 10x magnifier, for inspecting the SMT solder joints
(again, not essential but VERY helpful)
___ A well-lighted place to work, preferably with a wood or metal surface,
also preferably not carpeted
___ Some PAPER masking tape (do NOT use Scotch® tape or electrical tape)
___ Some ½” wide double-stick foam tape (“servo tape”)
Each installation step has a check-off line, we strongly recommend that you check them off as
you go, and that you perform the steps in sequence. We have listed the steps in order to make
it easiest to assemble the Remote Switch, deviating from them isn’t going to make your life
any easier.
We strongly recommend that you consult the assembly pictures on the Eggtimer Rocketry web
site, www.EggtimerRocketry.com . Go to Photos/Remote Switch Build.
Each step is pictured, so you can see exactly what you need to be soldering. Looking at the
pictures as you go will help prevent you from soldering the wrong thing, or putting something
in the wrong way.
