Skills

This kit assumes that you have a basic understanding of electronics, electronic 

components, and soldering and assembling electronics. Note that this kit is almost 

entirely Surface Mount Technology (SMT), so the assumption is that you understand 

how to work with Surface Mount Devices (SMD) and have some experience. 

This doesn't mean that you're 

completely

 on your own, just that I'm not going 

to hold your hand

. Below are a few things to help get you started. Feel free to 

ignore them.

Assembly Tips

• 

For the SMD, use the smallest soldering iron tip that you have. My favorite 

is the Weller ETR: (Not an endorsement, nor do I get anything from it, it's 

just a good reference point.) Remember to switch back to a larger tip when 

soldering the through-hole components.

• 

Good, fine-tip tweezers are a must. The Wiha 4b and 7a tweezers are great

.

• 

One helpful trick for soldering SMD with wire solder is to pre-solder one pad 

for each component location. Next, hold the component in place and touch 

1)  For many reasons, but two in particular: First, I'd have to leave my house, and I hate doing that. 

Second, it's really hard to solder with only one hand.

2)  IMO, their 5abb were the best, but they discontinued them so FML. No, you can't have mine.
