Tools & Soldering
Breadboards are great for prototyping, but a robotic arm that actually moves will shake jumper wires loose. Soldering your final connections — and the header pins on driver boards — is what makes a build dependable. A temperature-controlled iron or a small station with helping hands covers everything a maker needs, from tinning servo leads to attaching a PCA9685’s terminals.
