Stuff You'll Need
These things are must-have and you wont be able to do the project without them. :(
Soldering Iron
Use this item to heat and melt solder joints for attaching electronics to the circuit board. If you plan on getting involved, dont skimp and go for a good one. It will be a good trade. (money for less future frustration)
Solder
This is an expendable item that you melt to create electronic joints. Its fairly common and you can get it at a variety of places such as electronics stores, and possibly even a hardware store.
Wire Clippers / Crimpers
You'll need to do basic electronic stuff like clip wires and strip insulation. They are also just generally handy items to have laying around =)
Stuff To Make Life Easier
Helping Hands Tool
This thing will really rock your world by both providing a solid way to hold your board while you solder and also by giving you a closeup look of what you're actually doing on the board. You'll thank us later =)
Also, if you decide to ever do something fun like stop moton animation, these things have some human looking characteristics and are so cute!
