• Get an arduino starter kit and start building projects.
  
• This is a good one for a good price.(it's twice that or more on amazon)
  
• and this is a good price for a batch of sensors(no arduino included)
  
• if you want to move stuff a batch of servos is fun
  
• a soldering iron is good
  
• this one is good for the price. I don't like the ones that adjust at the handle. I prefer a base station.
  
• need solder as well
  
• and a solder sucker
  
• flush cut wirecutters are good to have
  
• a good pair of wire strippers is a life saver
  
• Good idea to have a multimeter around for verifying resistance values and voltages
  
• this is a decent one for the price
  
• Need some breadboard for prototyping. I'd suggest at least 3
  
• and some protoboards to finalize your circuit(until you start getting pcb's made)
  
• some solid conductor wire
  
• I like these storage cases for keeping my mess semi-under control.
  
  That's about all I can think of for now.
  

Hello! Looking to replace an LED on my Razer Black Widow, and just want to make sure that this
is ok for the job. I don't plan on soldering anything else on this keyboard.

Yea? Nay?

I thought flux was inclusive in the solder for some reason. This is what I've had sitting around:

If I can use flux to improve outcomes in my solder work, I'd strongly appreciate it. I felt persistently I was applying too much heat, and it was just dissipating through the circuit.

Thanks i was looking at that one as well but was not on sale at the time im ordering it now at 1/2 off thanks. The only problem with the solder you linked is its being mailed from china so eta on it geting here is Jan. 26-Feb. 13 was just going to pick This up its the only one i can find with Prime that wont take a month or more to get here.

Pretty sure it wasnt the solder, bought some good stuff with flux: https://www.amazon.com/Alpha-AM31406-Cookson-Electrical-Solder/dp/B000G31NWK/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1503768546&sr=1-1&keywords=alpha+fry+rosin+core
