Watch and understand that whole YouTube video! If you’re not achieving the
results shown in the video then you need to buy new tools or seek advice.
You will not end up with a working module otherwise.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Soldering iron, tweezers for SMD parts, snipe nose pliers, wire strippers,
small flat head screwdriver and diagonal cutters AKA snips AKA side-
cutters. A Digital Multimeter is always helpful for checking for bad solder
joints and continuity. Thonk sell a range of inexpensive tools here -
