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
