Tools
Your own tools are not required for the LCA assembly session, but if you are able to bring any of the following then that would be great.
If you're flying, please bear in mind that sharp items like cutters or multimeter probes will need to be put into checked baggage not carry-on.
- Wire cutters (and wire strippers if you have them)
- Multimeter

- Solder
- Small Phillips-head screwdriver
If you want to also do the optional surface mount assembly steps, there are some additional tools listed on that page
