>Think I had a toy one like that
I just had the pull along phone with eyes that everyone has as a kid...
Several years ago I got a Raspberry Pi model A and it lagged in most SNES games. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Well, I just finished this SNES RetroPie build and I am happy. Here is the parts list I used:
Other than the fan (loud as heck) it is all excellent. So happy with this build. I did end up removing the POE pins to make the Super Kuma 9000 heatsink fit, so temps are phenomenal. Even with a light OC, the fan never turns on. Performance is better than expected.
Where do you live? Amazon has them for under $30 in the US.
If you don't already have one, everybody needs a high quality horse head mask.

uh.....guys, it's over $500.
You not far wrong
I highly recommend the
Hakko 936 soldering ironHakko 888 soldering iron, which is still actually available. It's hard to fathom how a $100 soldering iron could be that much better than a $20 one, but once you start doing anything more serious than just sticking some wires together, it's worth it.As for other tools,
As for components, I've been buying them piece-meal for years, so other's will probably be able to yield you a better recommendation for kits than anything I can find just from a quick search. I do mostly digital work, so as far as passives, my main stock is:
If I need any other resistor for a specific project, I'll tend to just buy an extra 10 and keep them in labeled coin envelopes.
Random other pieces:
Edit: Fixed the soldering iron model.
Disclaimer: I'm using my Amazon Associate links for all of these, which always feel a little amoral and a conflict of interest, but really, if my apartment were to go up in flames and I could afford it, I'd buy every link on this list right now. Does anyone have strong opinions one way or the other on using them?
I think it's one of these but automated and backlit. Not to diminish the accomplishments here, just to explain it simply. The motors on these things must've been hell to arrange into a coherent array
They still sell the classic version!

James hairline look like it was created five minutes before filming via the Wooly Willy method.
Edit: I just finished the episode. I cannot possibly stress just how bad the script for this episode is. I cannot believe there are still people in the comments playing into the lie that this is still entertaining. The only positive thing about this is that it's cool for James to be able to say he collaborated with Gilbert on a project.

Wireless is a pain to set up and PS4 controllers are expensive. The Hori Pokken controller is great, but the controller that looks like the best for retro pies now is going to be released on December 4th.
I want the two analog control sticks since a lot of PSX games work fine on retro pie, but need analog control. Also, the Drastic emulator runs many Nintendo DS games and many of those need touch support which you can emulate with one of the thumbsticks. Finally, and most importantly some arcade games such as Smash TV and the fabulous Assault Plus are designed with two analog controls in mind.
I've already ordered 5 of these since I trust Hori's quality on other controllers. I will post how well they work once they arrive.

I don't have any suggestions on soldering irons, but I do recommend a brass wire sponge over a regular sponge for tip cleaning.
They work great and don't require any water. I personally feel they are better for your iron tip and don't get nasty like a sponge can.
Something like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000PDQORU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1373850851&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX112_SY192
Edit: that weller above that you listed is a good iron. Because you are doing SMD as well I would also recommend a solder sucker, as I call them ha.

Helps a ton if you get solder is the wrong place or need to take some off or out of a through hole.
Lastly, these third hands can be a life saver at times if you will be working alone often. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RB38X8/ref=pd_aw_sim_indust_2?pi=SL500_SY115

No, no, no. This will only scare him off. What she needs to do is purchase one of these bad boys, and then take an album of shots covered in fake(or real) blood with a bedazzled border around the tattoo. The horse mask will show that you are indeed familiar with equine, the blood symbolizes your dedication to them, and bedazzled tattoos are of the up-most class.
Edit: Spelling

Might be worth getting a solder wick for when you inevitably screw up. Solder vacuum isn't a terrible idea either. I have both, I use them for different things. A third hand is also useful. I find myself using the glass more than the arms but it's all useful. If the iron you buy doesn't come with one a brass ball is great for keeping your tip clean without cooling it off like a sponge will. Micro-cutter is useful, not sure if angled or straight is better, up to you I guess. Last but not least a pair of angled tweezers. You can get those anywhere.
These are all the things I have within arm's reach when I'm doing a project. Have fun!
My advice is to pick up a soldering heat sink to clip onto the board so you don't damage other components while desoldering, and pick up a desoldering tool and some solder wick. I suggest trying to wick the solder first - I find it easier to work with than a solder sucker.
De-solder each through-hole individually and you should be able to get it out without damaging the rest of the board.
I sincerely doubt you'll be able to salvage the broken piece and TBH it isn't worth the trouble - parts are so cheap that you would be better off replacing it. Check out Mouser and Digikey. The laptop's user guide/literature should have the exact specifications for power-in. In my experience, Mouser is faster to ship. Also worth mentioning that both places sell soldering/desoldering tools.
Good luck!

Sweet! I got it about a year ago from Amazon.com. To my knowledge there’s only the two versions. I believe it was this seller. It’s definitely the same box mine came in.
Where are you getting the price? I don't see it.
I'm a huge fan of all the IronMan movies, but $399 for a crappy low-res projector? Put it to use (aimed at a wall) and you're stuck looking at the back of its head -- including Celluon logo and a bunch of switches I've never seen on the "real" IronMan.
With MVIS tech, they'll be able to take something like this...
https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Legends-Iron-Electronic-Helmet/dp/B01B4NLOW4/
... and build-in a functional HUD, just like the "real" IronMan. Now that would sell like hotcakes, even at $600.

All I can think of right now.
Maybe, maybe not. Get a solder sucker. Something like this:https://www.amazon.com/Elenco-060820-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 Heat up the blobbers and suck them off and redo them.
Simplest way to solder is to touch the tip so it contacts the PCB connection and the component lead for a couple seconds and then lightly touch the tip of the spool of solder to that point, it will flow right on to both points, or touch the solder to the tip of the iron right above that point and the solder will flow down onto the connection, leave the tip there for a second or two and then remove it. It should cool and leave a shiny solder joint. If it's kind of murky grey like a lot of those on your PCB, the solder wasn't hot enough when you removed the heat.
Getting a tip that has a small point is super helpful. A decent soldering iron makes everything so much easier as well. https://gokimco.com/weller-wlc100-40-watt-hobbyist-solder-station.html?gdffi=a2b2595eeb2e44a8bc2e332d298712bc&gdfms=EE997BA12347416BA1AEAC65CC33CFA0&gclid=CNXf4euHiM0CFUpZhgodW2kIkg This is a good cheap one. The ones that are like 25 bucks from Radioshack are garbage.
Well, first your going to need to get a Solder Sucker of some variety, there are many out there, some cheap ones all the way up to very expensive vacuum powered rework stations. Recovery is going to be little more difficult, can I ask why you're trying to recover the solder?
Do you mean your going to attempt to reuse it?
Even if you do collect all the solder you "suck" that solder will be "dead". It won't have any flux in it, and you really won't be able to work with it again. Even doing little bits of rework or repair I usually completely clean the connection and go with new fluxcore solder else dope the area with flux before attempting any work.
Try a solder sucker
Use a decent soldering iron and get one of these. Proceed carefully, don't rip up the pads, and keep the temperature as low as possible (while still melting the solder). Desoldering can be tedious, but you'll get there.
And no---no cool down necessary. So long as your iron isn't blazing hot, the PCB plastic can take it.
This is my go to list for what you need for soldering:
hakko soldering iron w/ diagonal cutters $91
hakko diagonal cutters $4.37
solder $7
solder sucker $6
solder flux $8 check digikey
solder wick $7 check digikey
wire strippers $10
helping hands $7 check harbor freight
check for lower price
One of the hakko clone stations paired with some genuine hakko tips is probably a good compromise on price/value. Maybe someone else that's from the UK could suggest something different that's also affordable there.
It takes a lot of time. You need the right tools. Id' have an exacto knife, some clippers, some files, a good glue, and probably some gap filler. Oh, and a cutting board to work off of.
I linked some examples to give you an idea, you can feel free to find a particular product that works for you, although I do really like the Tamiya glue. There are a lot of little pieces so some people might like some tweezers as well. I use cupcake wrappers to help keep the pieces in one place as I'm assembling and keep them from getting lost. I'd recommend not working over carpet as a dropped piece might get lost forever in there.
As others have said, Vibrant Lantern has some great build guides, which are probably required for more complex models like the Phoenix.
Otherwise, don't let the amount of sprues overwhelm you. Pick a miniature to assemble and finish it before moving on to the next one. Most of them are fairly straightforward. I would really recommend you take your time in assembly, as getting the edges filed and gaps filled will pay off in the long run - nothing worse than a well painted model with gaps and mold lines showing. There are plenty of videos out there on how to do this if you aren't sure or just want some additional instruction.
Start with the White Lion and starting survivors. The Screaming Antelope and Butcher will be the next ones to tackle. All of these are fairly easy to assemble.
I use a file set to get rid of most of them. Blade are great, but sometimes they are just too fat to get into the little spaces.

Are those finer than the basic set that tamiya has? I've been using the basic set here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BMUONA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_jiIBwbRBX5X36 and I can't tell from the photos on Amazon if they're different. I'm assuming finer.

I'd say, as an avid redditor, that the Horse Head Mask would be a wonderful addition.
It's "on sale" for $15 on amazon, but I don't know if it stays there.
But in seriousness, I'd go with a Mighty Mug.

I think if you ended up with the $1 owl necklace, you might have the right to be pissy
If I had nothing and wanted to purchase decent quality stuff but still being affordable, I'd do the following.
Multimeter $45
Soldering Station $38
Solder $25
Desoldering Pump $6
If this is the only time you ever plan on soldering, then you can get away with the cheap stuff. You could probably source some of it locally for cheaper. None of this is great quality, but it will do the job for a 1 time project. While I wouldn't enjoy it, I could build an Ergodox with the following setup.
Desoldering Pump $6
Multimeter $13
Solder $9
Soldering Iron $8
Iron Holder $6
I know lead is bad for us, but is that why or does lead-free heat up/bond better?
I've got a solder sucker. I'm sure it's the same thing.
Be interesting to see if a spring-loaded solder sucker would work.
You should also buy a "solder sucker" (
http://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG ) which is a vacuum pump, to remove the solder when you heat it up.
That will help prevent damage to the circuit board foil 'traces' which can break or lift off the board if you just heat the solder and wiggle/pull the cap. Also some components are soldered to traces on both sides of the board.
Many Dell and HP pcs had the problem for several years, our company had many models replaced under warranty. They would typically fail after 2 or 3 years. Tops of the caps were bulged or had white or yellow powder coming out of the top.
In addition to this, a solder sucker is both helpful and fun. In all seriousness, it makes the part pull so much easier when all of the old solder is completely removed. Makes for a cleaner re-application of the replacement part as well.
this works fine
https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG
https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG
Five bucks
I would heavily suggest getting one of these https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG
As far as the solder goes as long as the 5v pad isn't connected to that center pad you will be fine, the solder can remain on the pads as long as the pads aren't connected
On a another note if they are connected put your solder gun on a low heat setting (Just barely melting the solder) And using your solder gun to carry some of the excess away
a) yes, it seems pretty much the same. For the most uses, most DMMs (Digital Multi Meter) will work just fine. Your basic needs are to have a couple of different ranges for both voltage and ampacity readings (i'm refering to the accuracy of the readings here... a DVM generally has 3 or 4 characters on the screen to describe the charactieristic. one range will cover, let's say up to 2 millivolts, and the next will cover up to 2 volts, the next up to 20... you'll figure it out). another major tool on the DVM is an audible continuity tester. these just make a tone when you have a clean circuit path between points a and b. Big help. That one you linked up seems pretty decent.... when you start wiring houses or something, then you can think about upgradign into a fluke handheld or a benchtop if you're doing big fancy circuits, but that'd be fine for quite a while.
I'll tell you, my Iron Experience is pretty dang limited. but this is what i know. As far as a soldering iron goes, one of the major considerations is the power rating, i.e. the wattage ratings... i think mine is about 30W, and it works just fine. If i had my druthers I'd go to one of those variable ones that can get up to ~800 degrees. I'd also definitely consider one that comes with a proper resting stand. An operating soldering iron is a pretty big safety issue, in that it is a burning hot iron tip hanging around on a surface that may or may not be covered in flammable material or human flesh.
As far as de-soldering irons go, at school i have access to those fancy powered vacuum ones... I just take any desoldering tasks i have over there because they are the cats meow. I've used those l'il non-powered vacuum tubes and i think they are going to take a lot of skill and training to get to use efficiently. i didn't like them. I've never used or seen this type
https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG
Here are some useful links: Link; Link; Link. The Marantz cost about $58 using good quality replacements. I did a H/K 330B for $9.58. The Marantz 2285 I am working on cost about $90 for parts.
 
You will need a decent soldering iron; solder sucker; desoldering braid; lead solder; flux; and most importantly a multimeter. Here is another gear thread. Most of the manuals are available on Hifiengine. What you can't find there you can check the forums or Sams. Manuals on Fleabay should be an absolute last resort.
 
I would recommend going to a local thrift store and getting some practice junker units. It will take you some time to good at it and you certainly don't want to screw up your good unit. I still don't know anywhere near enough to do more than replace the parts and do basic troubleshooting. Fortunately for people like us, there are a lot of very helpful and knowledgeable persons on the forums who are always willing to lend a hand. Edit: Forgot about the Dim Bulb Tester.
Soldering iron: https://www.amazon.com/Hakko-FX888D-23BY-Digital-Soldering-FX-888D/dp/B00ANZRT4M
Edit: most people recommend getting a chisel tip for the soldering iron. Big tips for big jobs, small tips for small jobs. Just having the pencil tip and one chisel will get you by for a long time.
Desoldering braid: https://www.amazon.com/Aven-17542-Desoldering-2-5mm-Length/dp/B003E48ERU/
Desoldering pump: https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG
You want both the pump and the braid. Get thin solder for electronics. You should probably use lead-free, but I like good old 60/40.
There are a ton of suggestions on multimeters. The exact right one for you depends on what you eventually want to do. Dave Jone's EEVBlog has some good suggestions. As does Adafruit. Anything Adafruit recommends isn't too far off the mark. If you just want a suggestion: Extech EX330 for $45 https://www.amazon.com/Extech-EX330-Autoranging-Multimeter-Thermometer/dp/B000EX0AE4 Cheaper ones will do the job, but this is a better one. The next step up are True RMS meters for about $100.
You can remove most of the solder by heating the solder and using a solder sucker. I feel like the clasp would probably go between the two pieces and not on top but am really not sure by looking at it.
I'd probably take it a jeweler and just ask them. If it can't be repaired and it doesn't have too much sentimental value then you could purchase her one.
Congrats! Keep us posted, it's always fun to see how peoples' journeys differ. I picked up a $9 set of files from Tamiya and it changed my skills almost instantly. They remove nubs much faster than any sandpaper, if you can get ahold of them I'd recommend also grabbing a higher grit sandpaper pad as well from a hobby store. Do a rough cleaning with the metal files then clean it up with increasingly higher grit sanding pads.
You can get seriously clean models if you use these tools right.
Additional tools I would add if you have more money
Assorted Sandpaper $5 will last you a long time if you cut the strips. 800 and 1000 is all you need
Tamiya Model File set $9, You really only need the flat one
For decals
Q-tips for applying decals, I recommend you get two sizes ( i like the mini ones since they have less hairs)
Self healing cutting mat
Mr Mark Setter and Mr Mark Softener for rounded edges
In that case, have you tried using a file? Something like these: https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-America-Basic-File-TAM74046/dp/B000BMUONA
I generally only use the one on top in the image. It's flat on one side and rounded on the other. Depending on the nub location I'll use either side, flat if there's a larger piece of nub then switch to the rounded side as I get closer to the part. I find the rounded part helps to avoid filing away the part itself as you get closer to it. The tapered end is good for tougher to get to places.
I've used the fully rounded one once and the big squared off flat one I almost never use. I find I end up scratching the part with it.
Honestly... at face value the kit looks okay but it probably comes with a lot of cheap crap you might not care about. I saw this in the similar section and I reckon that's enough if you wanna save a few more bucks and are keen on a set.
But if you're already willing to spend $20-30 then you can get what I suggested within that budget along with the knife you linked to (this and this, there's a few sellers for each you can get via Prime). That and some sandpaper from your hardware store and you'll be good to go dude.
Ultimately don't worry too much about the tools. You can make do with just sandpaper, a hobby knife and a crap pair of wire cutters and still do fine. Hell, that's all I had when I was a kid lol :P
Most of those look too coarse. Also, kind of pricey. Try these by Tamiya.
Zordon looks like one of those push pin toys at the store. I have no idea what they're officially called.
EDIT: I found it
maybe she had these?
I got these and love them for the price, although they don't have denominations on them they are three distinct colors. They are thin, but about the size of a quarter and really enhance the feel of games, especially fantasy/history games.

I did something similar. I was a big volunteer at my kids' elementary school. The school mascot is a horse. I'd just bought a horse head mask (shout out to /r/HorseMask/).
I got the principal's permission to put on a big coat and the mask, and walk through the cafeteria during lunch... slowly, with my hands in my pockets (e.g., no exposed skin).
The noise went through the roof, as far as I could tell all good excitement. Except... one kindergartner... who was absolutely balling because she has trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality.
A woman I didn't know led the student to the school office to console her. The woman turned out to be the incoming new principal for the school. That really got us off to a rolling start.
One Horse Mask and one jousting lance. Put on the mask while giving a friend a piggyback ride. Hilarity will ensue.

Look at the Hyperkin Tracker bundle
Now imagine collectors editions, compatible with the tracker, made for: this, this, or this
The ability to buy your favorite VR game in a collectors edition (with accompanying physical item) and slap a tracker on it is a killer fearture for gamers. Massively ups the immersion factor in a their favorite games, while increasing dev sales opportunity.
Problem is VR needs an install before companies will commit to selling these exclusives.

Hopefully they have a Marvel Legends version like the OG Infinity Gauntlet (https://www.amazon.com/Legends-Infinity-Gauntlet-Articulated-Electronic/dp/B071WT4KLM)
Absolutely! I went 8 months unable to play or hold a controller at all, and with some meds, PT, and this little guy, I'm back to almost full marathon days as long as I wear my braces/compression gloves and take regular breaks!
This ones great for fighting games, no analog sticks:

They've been going up and up in price but you can find them here. I bought mine a little over a year ago for $98.

NECA's online store on Amazon. It was on sale about two years ago for a little over $100. Now, it's more expensive.
The customizable version is available on Amazon.

Its this; https://www.amazon.com/NECA-Half-Life-Replica-Zero-Point-Manipulator/dp/B00AZ6KVZS#featureBulletsAndDetailBullets_secondary_view_div_1473032972114 It says 26" x 14" x 14" in box, and after shipping, itll go around 9 or so pounds, so maybe UsPS ground will work, as I bought it through ground.
That's amazing.
You need one of these gravity guns

edit: and I just realized the cheaper one is NOT metal. Ok, so I am pre-ordering the metal one at least until some reviews start coming out for it, I already have the King Arts Winter Soldier one so Ill have to decide if I actually get this one.
Hasbro makes it. Part of their adult role-play line for the MCU. They have Iron Man's helmet, Cap's shield, Star-lord's helmet and Mjolnir so far. All retail for $99 so don't pay a lot more. You can get them online or at Toys R Us.

Great, thanks.
Could I bother you with another question since I've never used Amazon?
it's being sold by other sellers (here's the page) do they also offer overnight or is that only for thing sold by Amazon directly?
While you are correct, I don't think this is a hard limit just yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow added bluetooth into the actual cartridge (and then would need some sort of adapter for digital copies).
This claims to be able to sync with the games, so there must be some way of sending/reading data.

Hello, I have a HORI ps4 Mini gamepad which I got here. This controller works on the PS4 and PC just fine, so I would think it would work with HID to VPAD, but its not being recognized. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!
Do you know the Hori mini game pad for PS4? for some reason it's really hard to do two consecutive qcb motions (for CA etc.) consistently. I wonder if I got a defective product and if there is a way to fix it?
I've read that as well but since I have a ps4 I was hoping to get something I could use for both. I saw a post from someone that said the ps4 mini controllers worked for them but these look small for my hands and cost almost as much as a duel shock.
&#x200B;
I was hoping for someone with some experience would point me to a dual shock that works. I'm also hoping Tesla adds bluetooth for controllers in the future.
Not sure what console you're on, but there's this controller for PS4 that I already have in my shopping cart for my unborn child lmao. Wife is like 20 weeks pregnant and I'm like 3-4 years ahead of the curve. I can't wait to play rocket league (cuz i'll still be playing) with him.
How about something smaller like
this?
Might be late now, but they make a smaller controller for smaller hands/kids. I got one for my kid when she was 3. Still too big for her. But a 6-8 year old should have no problem.

Once you get a new board, it would be a great idea to experiment with the old board. My first board was a Ducky Shine 3, and once I moved on I defs swapped LEDs and practiced soldering on it. It's a good investment to play with cheaper / worthless boards and parts before you accidentally bork your custom c:
To replace the switches, you'll need a solder sucker and a soldering iron. Those are the tools I use, and have used for the past 2-3 years. They're serving me well. I am very impressed with the soldering iron, as it's fairly reasonably priced (but YMMV, if you want the for-sure high quality iron Weller is highly recommended). Whatcha do is heat up the solder joints for the switches using the soldering iron (320-350C is good for temp), then quickly remove the soldering iron and put the solder sucker flush with the PCB above the joint. Press the button on the sucker and (if you were fast enough) it'll pull the melted solder off the board and into the sucker. Rinse and repeat for the rest of the switches. You will need to desolder all switches and LEDs before you can remove them, as they're likely plate mounted. After everything is desoldered and out, just put the new switches into position and solder 'em in. There are many good youtube videos on how to solder, but basically you just heat the joint (320-350C) and apply solder until you have a 'peak', whereas the solder is on the PCB touching the pad and it forms a nice peak to the top of the switch leg. (Peaking ensures that you have visual contact between the PCB and switch leg, which is why it's the go-to method).
After that you can get into cooler mods. Lube switches, clip and lube stabs, sip sockets, holtites, custom layouts, handwiring, building your own firmware... you can really go nuts if you want, it's all up to you. LMK if you have any other questions!
If you're going to do it yourself get a soldering iron and a de-soldering pump. Then check online for the schematics, places like this. Replace all the capacitors first and you'll probably fix the problem.
http://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG make sure you have one of these. SO goddamn handy
Dunno about the DA but for keyboards you can. As /u/01111000x said it'll void any warranty you may have with it.
I changed out all my LED's and Cherry switches using the following items:
Weller SP40NKUS - May be too powerful but it got the job done fine.
Solder sucker
Leaded solder with rosin core
Desoldering wick
I guess for Green LED's anything on eBay would work. 2x3x4mm square led's or flangless 3mm will both work. I got mine frome here because im impatient.
I typed up a great list last night, then somehow, I managed to screw it up and lost the whole thing. So I decided to heck with it... and found a beer.
Let's try again.

Standard tools with more specific uses:
Finally, pinball specific tools:
That should be about it. At least to get started. Depending on where you go from there, there are a bazillion things you could spend money on. But since you only have one machine right now, this basic list should take you a very long way. And don't kill yourself buying a ton of expensive specialty tools like fancy soldering irons if you don't think this is something you'll want to do a lot of. If you decide you like it and want to spend more money later, those are great upgrades.
Is it necessary to clean up flux? Almost never. Is it a good idea to do it anyway? I'd say so. Here's a good article about all things solder and flux to bring you up to speed.
Flux is SUPER carcinogenic, or so I've been lead to believe, and it also causes serious gastrointestinal issues if ingested, in even relatively small amounts. I generally try to leave all the circuit boards I work on clean of big globs of flux, but I'm no perfectionist. Flux is non-conductive, so don't worry if you leave a bunch behind or it looks like the flux might be bridging a connection. I oftentimes leave smaller flux contamination spots on the board, unless it's in a spot where I'd be likely to touch next time I'm handling the board.
Here's a pretty good soldering iron, the Hakko FX-888. It's more than enough iron to last you through all your projects in the foreseeable future, and it comes with extra tips and a tip cleaning canister. To be honest, though, it's pretty expensive, and I totally understand if it's out of your price range. Personally, I use a Chinese clone, which works extremely well, for what I paid for it.
I'd also recommend anyone working on anything with a soldering iron to get a set of helping hands. Finding one which isn't broken or of shit quality is a real crapshoot, but, once you have one that works, you'll wonder how you ever got by without one. Personally, I recommend spending the cash to get one with some sort of LED built in, but here's a link to a cheap and functional set of helping hands.
If you're going to be desoldering things often (or trying to make beautiful solder joints), you definitely want to get yourself some desoldering braid, which is just stranded copper wire filled with flux paste. When you put heat to the top of the braid and put the bottom of the braid on the component, the braid will wick excess solder from the component. Once you master using this stuff, it's a real boon for disassembly (or cleanup of solder blobs). You might also want to look into a desoldering pump, which is okay for some things, but not nearly as versatile as desoldering braid.
Last, but certainly not least, is having the right solder for the job. Personally, I use silver bearing solder, because I've been told it is more resistant to cold joints, and slightly more conductive. Here's a link to a spool of silver bearing solder, which I'd buy, were I in the market for a new spool.
One more link for you... When I was looking for a link to that Chinese clone soldering station, I stumbled on this DIY SMD soldering practice kit. Might be worth your time to invest in one and try your luck. For $2, it's a great way to go from soldering zero to soldering hero in a day or two. Also, check this page for more DIY kit ideas.
Let me know if you have any more questions! My inbox is always available, if you'd feel more comfortable PM'ing me questions, too. (That goes for anyone who needs a hand, not just /u/websurferathome)
You might find a solder sucker - https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG.
Or some de-soldering braid/wick - https://www.amazon.com/MG-Chemicals-Clean-Desoldering-Length/dp/B00424S2C8 useful for removing the solder easily when removing header pins. Also before you try de-soldering, remove the plastic part from the pins by pulling it off with some pliars, this allows you to remove the pins 1 by 1, preventing the solder pads getting to hot and coming off.
Great job. Though you need to get yourself one of these.
https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG
When soldering to the header, should I do it to the long or short side?
Do you have any suggestions for solder suckers that work well for the size of work here? I'm looking at this one on amazon but it seems like the opening may be too large. Thoughts?
If you can, get a cheap solder sucker. I desoldered ALL switches from my g710+ and it was a dream with this guy
You'll need a solder pump and a reamer to get the broken pin out. Put the board in a vise/third-hand tool or whatever. You need to be able to work on both sides of it. Apply your soldering iron to one side and have the solder pump on the other. When the solder is melted you fire the pump and it will suck the solder and hopefully the pin out. You can use the reamer to make the hole a little bigger and get some tinned wire in there.

The reamer is the second one from the left. I'm pretty sure RadioShack sells both.

You need a solder sucker. Heat one point at a time and suck out the molten solder. Start on to the next one. Don't know the real name but they are available at most elec. stores. Try this link in amazon. https://www.amazon.com/WEmake-WM-SP4-Solder-Sucker-desoldering/dp/B0002KRAAG
If you're just dipping your toe in the water, grab that Weller I linked. It's under $40, but is a well respected budget iron. I personally own a Weller WES51. It's a fantastic iron, but if you're not convinced that soldering things is going to become a hobby, save your money.
Hakko is also a popular brand, but I'm not as familiar with their lower-end gear. If you get an adjustable temp iron from Hakko or Weller, you'll be set for a while.
Some other handy items are:
Other things to consider are goggles, a small fan to pull the fumes away from you (DON'T BLOW ON THE JOINTS), and something to solder on top of. If you don't care about your work surface, it's no big deal. But I use my desk, and sometimes the kitchen table, so I have an old 1 foot ceramic tile that I solder on top of -- the soldering iron base doesn't get hot, but you can drip/splatter solder if you're being careless, and it gives you a hard surface to use that you don't have to worry about getting hot/burned.
Not really, just need a soldering iron and a desoldering pump
You can find some tutorials on Youtube.
Try to find a soldering iron with a small end.
This is what a desoldering pump looks like.
It's kind of easy to use
After that, you can get some LEDs and/or some of these. It's really simple to wire.

You may want to start with an unregulated or an okr or raptor build. It'll be cheaper and its easy to find tutorials on building them online. That is probably what I will start with.
Sandpaper is really cheap at the hardware store, just get some varying grits (i go up to 1500). If you want files, you can probably find some good hobby ones, I use the tamiya file set. If you are going to be disassembling your kits for painting or whatever reason, spudgers are very helpful. Definitely top coat, Krylon Matte and Clear top coats are good, there are more hobby specific coats that are very good, but more expensive. Panel lining supplies are also good, either pens or ink for a panel line wash. Alligator clips on sticks are also handy if you are going to be top coating
Dremmels are great with the right attachment - but I actually just use a set of files like these that are really effective and cheap. The squared off flat one is perfect for filing slightly uneven edges so that pieces meet up better - I use them extensively when modeling forgeworld models and tanks.
You can also use a nail file/emery board, though the hard plastic/resin will wear the emery board down much faster than the nails that they're made for.
Its literally as easy as trying to match up the sides, noting where the biggest protrusions are that are keeping it from being flush, then filing those parts down flat with a couple strokes of the file, re-aligning, repeat until they sit flush.
What model are you working on, and which parts specifically aren't matching up? I might be able to lend more specific advice.
I was looking at a set of files from Tamiya. Would this be a good set as apposed to sand paper?
This should be a better quality purchase. I have the tamiya files and use them frequently when I remove nubs prior to sanding. With metal files, my advise is to not OVERDO it - after shaving with a hobby knife, a few passes with the file is necessary to completely level the nub. If you overdo it, you will scrape off excess plastic. Just be careful :)
Is this the set you're referring to? https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-300074046-Basic-File-Set/dp/B000BMUONA/
Yea i saw this under the recommendation with the tamiya nippers. Thought it might be a good buy, still undecided and processing all the input.
http://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-300074046-Basic-File-Set/dp/B000BMUONA/ref=pd_bxgy_21_img_3?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=0HVB95284PC6SJSVYT0Y
I use hard Wave sticks too and love them. They sand very flat (something I liked files for) but are quite gentle on the plastic in terms of deap scratches. BUT for some reason the 800 grit is disconnected like in your link. Anyone know where else you can get it?
In terms of files I have the Tamiya basic , Tamiya fine basic , and a (hopefully) nicer plastic hobby file on order just to try. Files are nice for larger jobs like serious molding flaws (not common in Bandai kits) and the fine ones are OK for nubs but still quite rough compared to any sanding stick. Although, as you know I'm sure, files last forever and require much less effort and time to chew through plastic. I'm hoping the plastic file is the Holy grail and is a good balance. I bought a set of needle files and diamond files from harbor freight and they blow. The trash just don't grip or cut don't waste your $3.
And as a reference I own Revell, squadron , nail buff sticks, and have made my own sticks from automotive sand paper. The nail files are way too rough imo, making my own is a pain, and while the squadron sticks are nice I mainly only used the tri-grit while I used all the Revell except the roughest and are probably the best value imo. I still use the other more flexible kinds but dramatically prefer wave. Wish the 800 grit still were available.
Long post sorry. Hope it helps

https://www.amazon.com/Toysmith-Classic-Pin-Art-Black/dp/B000FZVNM4
The plastic peg ones are alright, but the best ones are the ones with the metal pegs. They're so cool against your face when you're trying to see if it will outline your nostrils well or not.
Edit: You said you were keeping your eyes out for one!
Yes but who decides: A central authority trying to process all the information or numerous individual actors processing the information they have? The idea here is that one central decision maker cannot act with as much precision as millions or billions of small ones (Some market failures occur, it isn't perfect). I like to think of it like one of these. Imagine the people make up a lot of small needles. A government has bigger needles in radius. The bigger the government the fewer needles that fit in that space, and the less clear the impression becomes.
you don't need to, all it is is one of these http://www.amazon.com/Toysmith-Classic-Pin-Art-Black/dp/B000FZVNM4 with looser fitting pins that can drop into place by the looks of it.
I wonder if a 3d printed version would be anti static compliant. Maybe if it were printed with carbon fibre filament (does that stuff actually conduct? I know real carbon fibre does.... ^ask ^me ^how ^I ^would ^know ^that )
nope but i did have some of these

Holy fuck, $175? Really? Weren't these like, $20 back in the early 90s?

Brio push cart. Useful to learn to walk. Additionally they love pushing things. Better this than have them pushing chairs around the house.

Slap Bracelets. You slap it against your wrist and it instantly coils around it. Suddenly, they were banned because someone on TV reported that a kid slit their wrist with one.
Yo, no referral links. Anyway here's the link without referral: http://www.amazon.in/Accoutrements-12027-Horse-Head-Mask/dp/B003G4IM4S

I think that this is an interesting contest.
Also, I think this would relate because it relates to disguises, and the magical way of disguising yourself would either to be a metamorphmagus like Tonks or to use polyjuice potions. Polyjuice potions, of course, are made from equipment which can be purchased at Slug and Jiggers apothecary, which can be found in Diagon Alley.
DIAGONALLY!
We all know interspecies romance is weird... and speaking of weird "romance" items, this is on my wishlist, lol. Why? I seriously don't know. Maybe because I have the humor of a 10 year old and like to giggle at "dirty" things. Maybe because I want to troll all my female friends by handing these out on Christmas. I don't know. Just... dicks, man. =p
Non-makeup related, but I have lots of other weird things in my wishlist. For example:
this and this.
I like silly hats. :B
The amazon page and hilarious reviews/user photos of that horse head, here.
The example pics are classic.

I really want to give you gold, 5 months later, but I just spent $20 on Amazon buying that horse head. Please take my heartfelt comment instead.
All of these
DIRTY THIRTY
Happy early birthday
im a little late but its a joke based around this amazon item. Read some of the reviews, pretty funny
A horse head mask???
Got one for my friend as a gag Christmas present. Amazon link
I think it was a great gift for $20. He used it to scare the shit out of his female roommates.
alternatively wear the Accoutrements Horse Head Mask in place of Kermit mask.
Do want. Anyone can find cheaper?
this is awesome
Help is pretty affordable these days.
First of all thanks OP for the giveaway.
I have recently been looking at phone covers and I found these things that are also really cool.
Classy Iphone cover-CDN$ 9.99
Power bank for you phone-CDN$ 17.94
THE HORSE MASK!!!-CDN$ 27.25 (Although you can find cheaper horse masks these masks have the best quality.
Airzooka -CDN$ 29.99
And I would like Binding of Issac-$4.99 and this is my Steam ID
That would be a cool costume, but I don't watch that show (I've been meaning to though). I got mine on Amazon, so you could rush ship it. You could do his main outfit with the gray blazer, light blue jeans, blue x shirt, and red chucks if you already have it; or you could do the robe and boxers outfit too.
Im a huge fan of the comic-like submission we put up on the Titans, lots of fun, nothing too personal -- friendly ribbing. I would really like to continue that as a group, I think it's a great way to assert our dominance, creativity, and community while not personally insulting others. However, I dont have the talent to understand how long it took to create Luck riding a new unit of power, so I understand that it might not be reasonable to do it every week; though I'd be happy brainstorming.
With that said, I'd like Luck, wearing this but the neard MUST spill out of the bottom of the mask. What happens from here is beyond me, maybe show off Vinatieri kicking a field goal that goes in? and if we want to turn it up a notch, make it a field goal competition where their kicker sobs and the prize is $25,000.

saved the thread for future reference, i had my eyes for this gem on amazon :P
Buy Here
Probably the best $20.28 I've ever spent... just be mindful, they didn't really factor in your ability to see when they created the mask
Doesn't seem right where's the horse mask?
I have been dying to read this book! And that say's a lot because I am not the type of person to "read" a "book" but from all the praise this book has gotten.. I have to read it :\

This Horse Mask changed my entire life. It is the honey to my honey nut cheerios, the cheese to my mac 'n' cheese and the spice to my love life. Great for picking up chickas and also a great accessory in the bedroom later on. I swear to you I have no idea what these other people mean by saying it's "Hard to see out of"... PSHAW!! I can see better through those nostrils than I can from my own two eyes. The mask makes me comfortable, and no longer awkward around girls. It helped me talk to my mother after 27 long years of hatred and we are now best friends. It's my go-to when I'm down in the dumps, my pick-me-up after a long hard day at the fish market (my work). This thing is better than anything I have ever purchased, ever. Like seriously, it's a better buy than the kidney that saved my life, or even the pizza that killed my insane, murderous cat (the pepperoni was rancid and I didn't get a chance to eat it before the devil ate the entire thing). This thing is the only thing that kept me going when I was suicidal. It arrived in its beautiful amazon box (I kept the box which I now call "The Stable) the day I was going to hang myself and I put it on. Instantly rejuvenated, I spent the night on the town with Toto and had a tensome. Yeah, it was worth the money.
Must read comments
This MUST get more upvotes to help it rise to the top. The ["view and share related images"] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B003G4IM4S/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all) is priceless for the humor alone. God, I miss Halloween.

Yup, that time again: I'm continuing the collective mass of livestream entries and summaries unofficially known as the ["Captain's Log"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardate "I only just realized there's an Urban Dictionary entry for 'Captain's Log', and that's NOT what I ever intended!") At this point, enumerating all the entries takes up hundreds of characters I'd rather spend on actual entry content. So henceforth, I shall simply link to the (#1) original entry from the February 2 announcement and the most recent entry or entries; currently, these are here (#18, volume 1 of 2), May 4 and here (#19, volume 2 of 2), May 4.
---
Update: Another Saturday-night respawn, after which I departed at about 4:39AM U.S. Eastern time on Sunday, May 12 (though again, I'm writing up this entry after-the-fact, though I'm slowly approaching present-day). So to begin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, /u/overkill98292! (I know you didn't celebrate officially until the next day, but still!) So although I forget the context of it, I recently learned that the origins of the "it went *okay" meme on Reddit is now over two years old. I've had a Reddit account myself for only about four months, but I'd been... lurking quietly for years before that. It's amazing the sorts of things you forget. For example, it took me forever to remember the hidden-in-plain-sight genius of /u/MediumPace. (It's one thing when you see it, but another entirely when you realize the commitment to that premise.) But I digress: so I believe this is my first introduction to [the 1996 version of the game Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_in_the_World_Is_Carmen_Sandiego%3F_%281996%29 "I've clearly watched too much television: I've never played this game, nor seen the PBS show. Still, I somehow recognized the name Lynne Thigpen as a character actor who, among other things, regularly played a judge on 'Law & Order'.") This became a popular meme just within the livestream, some of whose shared links were very much in [a Rule 34-spirit.](http://www.horseheadmafia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/horse-mask-4.jpeg "Arguably the strangest thing about this picture—given that it's about what it's about—is the footwear choice of the lady in the pink top.") (Speaking of which, anyone who hasn't done so yet owes it to themselves to read the Amazon product reviews of said horse head mask.) Those of us so inclined got to geek out a bit about adjacency matrices, and everyone else ignored or humored us. I think [the incomprehensibility of Scottish people to non-Scots](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le_uNGdpa4c "Sorry, but no subtitles were provided. The virtual-bleeps of silence to obscure NSFW words, though, was quite amusing given the impenetrability of all the surrounding language.") is starting to become a running theme, but let us be perfectly clear that none of this applies to /u/Haggishunter. He is a scholar and a gentleman. I can't believe I get to use the word "schadenfreude" in a comment about Kanye West, but apparently [this video justifies said juxtaposition.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRgYagFIsWU "Autotuned remix available early this fall.") As a general rule, one must beware that /u/MaryGoesAround offers some of the riskiest clicks in the livestream. By now, even the most homophobic straight guys have become inured to her seemingly endless cache of dickpics. But for reference, here are some titles of her other links (and this excludes untitled Imgur links with high WTF-quotients): "Ingrown hair 458 - Discombobulation" (for which YouTube helpfully recommends that we watch in full 720p glory), "Huges [sic] Blackhead Removed !! Please Watch on Empty Stomach", and she's even instigated others like overkill (who gets a pass as the birthday boy) to post videos like "Nasty Projectile Face Pus Pimple Pop". If y'all wanna check that our, help yourself to /r/popping, but YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. What's incongruous is that Mary has a lovely, friendly laugh, but what prompts said laugh can be quite grotesque indeed. Fortunately for her, strange subreddits abound: for example, we (collectively) just discovered that /r/SockMonkiesGoneWild is apparently a thing. This was also the time the [Kitchen Nightmares episode with Amy's Baking Company started going viral,](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XjgHEctcy0 "This link is probably likely to be taken down at some point. Should others repost it, look for 'Kitchen Nightmares', Season 6, Episode 16, with Amy's Baking Company.") A few days later, one of the former servers from that restaurant did a popular AMA on Reddit, and it turns out that there are at least two parody Twitter feeds for Amy's Baking Company: (#1) and (#2). Perhaps this is actually a silver lining in the context of depressing reality #4 on this list from Cracked.com. On a more personal note, apparently someone stole the laptop of /u/my_eyes_only—a.k.a. "lil mama"—so she was mic-less for her duration on the stream. Sadly, we discovered that the pornquest for which /u/audio_slut should be proud, and for which PaperBagHead should be grateful, has been thwarted by the vagaries of the internet, since this link is no longer active (NSFW site, but dead link). Perhaps the most interesting development of the evening is that /u/thatsinterdasting has decided to become a superhero! Henceforth, she shall be known to the criminal underworld of... Canada, I guess, as The Shadow Penis. (As an aside, synthesizing this with the inside-ish joke that she's Maverick from Top Gun, and Shadow Penis takes on a whole new meaning in this context.) As for her origin story, that's still taking shape. I suggested Light Vagina, but that may have been too on-the-nose; later, /u/GWoR suggested Professor Thunder Cunt, which seems to have prompted TI's—pardon me... The Shadow Penis' enthusiasm à la [one too many energy drinks.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJFyz73MRcg#t=13s "I know, I know: I've used this video before. Still, it's like it's her theme song now, so how could I select anything else?") This all remains in the early-draft stages, but until /u/Shitty_Watercolour can contribute, for now /u/Nyordr has contributed this artist's rendering of The Shadow Penis versus Professor Thunder Cunt. We also got not just one but two Chun-Li-themed GIFs, the later of which involved Jackie Chan of all people! This GIF, submitted by /u/Jet_Le, reminded everyone of more than one of the ladies of the livestream. (We're looking at you in particular, /u/MarionetteDoll.) Partly based on the content of [this GIF](http://25.media.tumblr.com/70d395398bf34516d4e638c1094d70b5/tumblr_mh9svovmuH1s07nu0o1_500.gif "BTW, Beer: I think I got your Reddit username correct, but please correct me if I am mistaken!") provided by /u/beerisgood1, we received recommendations for the movie [The Perks of Being a Wallflower](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1659337/ "I've heard good things about it myself, but for many, 'because Emma Watson' seems to suffice.") Since I frequently mention statistics, it's worth noting that our livestream room itself can receive levels, and right now it's at [level 17, meaning we've collectively spend over 40,000 person-hours here.](http://www.raidcall.com/faqserver.php#9 "As best I can tell, though, the room itself receives no jewelry or royal headwear.") And finally,
lil mamaeyes asserted that she had reclaimed the word "cunt" to now mean something positive, but even she saw the hilarity of a sentence like "Do you, Haggis, take this cunt to be your lawful bride?" And finally, after a meandering conversation, eyes decided that the next time she has sexytime, she shall declare "FOR HITLER!!!", presumably at or near the moment of climax. (To be clear: nobody in the livestream is a Nazi. And I did PM her to see whether she could better remember the context of this interjection than I could, but sadly, all she could remember was some general discussion of Hitler that led to that. Sometimes, context is to be lost forever, I fear; on the bright side, I suspect that German has a single word to express this state.)---
Update: It's currently about 1:58AM U.S. Eastern time on Thursday, May 23. Again, I'm hitting Reddit's quota for comment-length. This continues [in the thread for the May 18 announcement](http://www.reddit.com/r/Recordings/comments/1ellhz/live_streammay_18_2013/ca4bgdn "... for the zero of you still following any of this.").
I definitely thought it was one of those pop cap guns, with the sparks and everything, until you mentioned this.

Better yet, buy 4. The lolz will last a lifetime.
Can it be the horse head mask instead? I happen to have one of those lying around, and I can imagine it would be even more challening trying to eat a bowl of Captain Crunch* with that thing on. xD
Edit: Captain Crunch, not cereal.

I looked into this and basically there isn't any research on mobile apps. It's all based on TV viewing which I would argue is not directly comparable. There are a lot of blowhards with strong opinions. There's a decent article with sources on the BBC here. Some people have the TV on all the time 'in the background' in a way that I don't see so much with mobile apps, time sponging as they are. Bear this in mind with regard to TV studies, also that slack jawed torpor that TV viewers have compared to interacting with an app or game.
I don't have formal expertise. I have a kid aged 18 months. My kid gets taken out every day for at least an hour in the real, outside world and interact with both parents at home.
Not yet speaking but significant receptive vocabulary, e.g. knows parts of the body, partially with assistance from a Fisher Price app. I think that people miss something important when they say 'oh, that kid spends too much time on an app. We didn't have that when I was a kid, it's bad for it, you should take them out to play more'. This is a completely different world from 40 years ago and a lot of it has moved into your phone or tablet.
Saying that you or I grew up without this stuff is utterly meaningless. I didn't have the TV on when I was small because we didn't actually have a TV. I can remember my parents getting their first TV when I was about 5 years old, it was someone else's cast off and did not work properly. Even when it did, it took several minutes to warm up and had analogue tuning that was VERY sensitive and always slipped. There were only 3 channels and you had to look in the newspaper or a special magazine for the programme listing. It was a very 'active' and deliberate activity, nothing like being able to watch a video easily today. It was the same story with children's music. All of this was on vinyl (later on tape also) and if we wanted to listen to something then this meant getting the record out of it's sleeve, out of the paper sleeve, cleaning it, turning the amp on, turning the record player on and then putting the record on. After 20 minutes you had to change sides- or your parents did if you were too little to be trusted with the record player. Later, when we did have a TV that mostly worked, my mother was very strict about what programmes she approved.
I did not have many expensive toys but the other children I knew (and their slightly younger siblings' toys when I was a bit older) weren't so very different in concept from things like some of the apps on my tablet. One I remember especially was the Fisher Price activity centre as shown here Yes, obviously it is physical rather than a touchscreen but the repetition and interaction is not so much different from some toddler/baby apps available today. It used to get fixed in baby's cots. What about the Fisher Price pull along phone?. It was very popular and you can still get a version of it today although few children would recognise it as a telephone given that nobody uses a phone like this today. Just like phones are touchscreen today, so are the apps. I remember also the Toy record player (music box with changeable discs) pictured in the first link and Toy TV - a wind up music box with a scrolling background. These were the types of toys most kids 'just played' with, often just winding it up and sitting there staring at it until it wound down, then doing the same thing again. I did this myself when I visited other peoples houses. I feel that interacting with a music or video app (e.g. YouTube kids) is at least as intellectual.
As a child I read childrens' comics and later newspapers and books. Today, I haven't bought a paper newspaper or book in years. It's a different world.
TL;DR There aren't any relevant studies for todller time spent on apps, it's all based on TV viewing which I would argue is quite different from negotiating within and between apps, something that I would consider today a life-skill.
These are the things I want:
