Welcome to the step-by-step guide for assembling your own Space Shuttle Discovery. Gather your supplies and get to it! This kit is built around 3 candle-like flickering LEDs, a switch and a CR2032 battery (which is not included, get yours here)
Soldering Iron: You'll need a decent soldering iron. Adafruit has a selection here.
Solder: We typically use 0.8mm or thicker solder wire for this. See on Adafruit here.
Optional
- File or sand paper to smooth the rough edges
- Helping Third Hand (this can be mechanical or from an actual person). Check out some at Adafruit here.
- Solder Sucker and/or Solder Wick
