The first thing many people do these days when they begin messing with electronics is create a
circuit that does nothing but light an LED. I'm no exception. :)
I've learned to solder! OK, maybe I already had an idea of how to solder and have done a (very) small amount if it in
the past but I'm learning to do it correctly. I picked up a nice iron
(Weller WES51) with adjustable temperatures, swappable tips and a holder and it definitely makes a huge
difference from the el cheapo I had before.
