| There are a few tools that are required for assembly. If you don't have them, now would be a good time to borrow or purchase them. They are very very handy whenever assembling/fixing/modifying electronic devices! | There are a few tools that are required for assembly.

| + | |{{wavebubble:wes50_t.jpg|}}|**Soldering Iron** Because of the many small parts, a WES-50/WES-51 and the other ~$100 Wellers is minimal equiptment. Get the finest pitch tip you can. Alternately you can use solderpaste and a hotplate. Although eventually you will need to solder something on the other side. A low quality (ahem, $15 radioshack) iron is not suitable.| | ||
| + | |{{wavebubble:solderroll_small.png|}}|**Solder** Rosin core 60/40 or 63/37 0.025". Get high quality, fine solder. Silver solder is OK too but not necessary. (Kester 23-6337-0007)| | ||
| + | |<<no image ... yet>>|**Solder Paste**. Good for soldering the TSSOP parts. Kester 57-3901-5403| | ||
| + | |{{wavebubble:braid_t.jpg|}}|**(De)solder braid**. For fixing solder bridges. Techspray 1814-5F.| | ||
| + | |<<no image ... yet>>|**Power Supply** -- It can be a thousand dollar arbitrary waveform generator, or a 9V hooked up to an LM317 & potentiometer. Whatever, just make sure you can get ~3-4 V out of it, for testing.| | ||
| + | |{{wavebubble:meter_small.png|}}|**Multimeter/Oscilloscope** -- A hand-held meter, at least, is necessary. A scope will help you even more with debugging & analyzing the circuit. 10MHz is minimal. Most of the frequencies here are either 10MHz and lower or 1GHz and higher, so no point using something -really good-| | ||
| + | |{{wavebubble:bk2650_small.png|}}|**Spectrum Analyzer** -- In theory, this is not necessary to construct, with the PLL. But still an incredibly useful tool for RF work. BK Precision 2650 3.3GHz is not a bad choice.| | ||
| + | |<<no image ... yet>>|**Needle-Nose Pliers** -- For bending leads, etc.| | ||
| + | |<<no image ... yet>>|**Tweezers** -- For holding fine components steady while soldering. Wiha #44501 from digikey is good.| | ||
| + | |{{wavebubble:cooper170m_t.jpg|}}|**Flush/Diagonal Cutters** -- Not needed that often, but handy anyways.| | ||
| + | |{{wavebubble:panajr_t.jpg|}}|**Board Holder** -- The panavise jr. has been perfect.| | ||
| + | |{{wavebubble:litworklamp_t.jpg|}}|**Good light preferrably with Magnifying glass** -- Ideal for examining board for solder bridges, etc. Unicorn Electronics| | ||
