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
