The following tools are required: soldering iron, desoldering pump (if you
make a mistake), screwdrivers, wire cutters, pliers, drill, and a heat gun.
There are some other materials which may be necessary to build this cable, including: heat-shrink tubing, solder, flux, flux remover, small jumper wire. If you also chose to socket the 14C232 IC, a 16-pin DIP socket will be necessary. |
