Assembly hints

1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! )
Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project
successful. Read them carefully.

1.1 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 enables 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 compo-

nents in place.

• Small blade and Phillips screwdrivers. A basic range

is fine.

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

be handy

1.2 Assembly Hints :
