Assembly

Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project suc-cessful.
Read them carefully.

Make sure you have the right tools:

A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.
Wipe it often on a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solder to the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’ and will protect the tip, and en-ables you to make good connections. When solder rolls off the tip, it needs cleaning.

Thin raisin-core solder. Do not use any flux or grease.
A diagonal cutter to trim excess wires. To avoid injury when cutting excess leads, hold the lead so they cannot fly towards the eyes.

Needle nose pliers, for bending leads, or to hold components in place.
Small blade and phillips screwdrivers. Abasic range is fine.

For some projects, a basic multi-meter is required, or might be handy
