-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 whereever is most convenient/​inexpensive. Many of these parts are available in a place like Radio Shack or other (higher quality) DIY electronics stores.

-| {{http://​www.ladyada.net/​images/​tools/​xytronics.jpg}} | **Soldering iron** | One with temperature control and a stand is best. \\ A conical or small '​screwdriver'​ tip is good, almost all irons come with one of these. \\ A low quality (ahem, $10 model from radioshack) iron may cause more problems than its worth! \\ Do not use a "​ColdHeat"​ soldering iron, they are not suitable for delicate electronics work and can damage the kit ([[http://​www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/​cold-soldering2.htm|see here]]) \\ \\ [[http://​www.ladyada.net/​library/​equipt/​kits.html#​basic|Check out my recommended basic soldering iron and where to buy.]] |
