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 where ever 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/180),
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)).
