| Multimeter: It is very important that you get one that can measure voltage, current, and resistance. Digital is prefered for easy usage, but not required. Mine was $15, and its perfectly fine for most applications. Not only is it important that you have a good one, you have to learn how to use it properly. Both are equally important, so spend plenty of time familiarizing yourself with your multimeter. Soldering Iron (and accessories): Are not required with any of the above, but are good to have as with any electronic projects. Switch: Not necessary, but helps a lot after plugging and unplugging a wire 25 times |
