Before starting this kit, prepare the following tools: Soldering iron (15-20W will do), flush cutters, small 

hex screwdriver or allen key and phillips screwdriver. Also briefly go through this guide and make sure 

that you understand all the steps, if you are having any troubles don’t hesitate to seek help at the forum. 

We suggest that you work in a clean and a well lit environment to avoid accidents or losing any of the 

small components. 

IMPORTANT! 

If you have never soldered before, check out this great 

tutorial first
