This set includes all necessary tools to start soldering, plus two festive minikits to put your skills to the test.The basic tools for soldering are a soldering iron (110 VAC version) and a support piece. We also included lead-free solder which is pretty easy to work with and its fumes are not harmful! Lastly, you’ll need some side cutters to trim the component’s leads.The first minikit is the electronic candle, it has a warm yellow LED that mimics a real candle! This little solder kit only has 6 components to solder, which makes it the ideal starter kit.Then it’s time to expand your skills with the original electronic Christmas tree kit. Solder more advanced components and a whopping 16 red LEDs.Each kit is accompanied by an illustrated and comprehensive manual to make sure that anyone can master the art of soldering.Features

The PC has long-time outgrown its function as a pure computer and has become an all-purpose machine. This book is targeted towards those people that want to control existing or self-built hardware from their computer. Using Visual Basic as Rapid Application Development tool we will take you on a journey to unlock the world beyond the connectors of the PC. After familiarising yourself with Visual Basic, its development environment and the toolset it offers, items such as serial communications, printer ports, bit-banging, protocol emulation, ISA, USB and Ethernet interfacing and the remote control of test-equipment over the GPIB bus, are covered in extent. Each topic is accompanied by clear, ready to run code, and where necessary, schematics are provided that will get your projects up to speed in no time. This book will show you advanced things like: using tools like Debug to find hardware addresses, setting up remote communication using TCP/IP and UDP sockets and even writing your own internet servers. Or how about connecting your own block of hardware over USB or Ethernet and controlling it from Visual Basic. Other things like internet-program communication, DDE and the new graphics interface of Windows XP are covered as well. All examples are ready to compile using Visual Basic 5.0, 6.0, NET or 2005. Extensive coverage is given on the differences between what could be called Visual Basic Classic and Visual basic .NET / 2005.
If you are going to be drilling, we recommend drilling on FR1 substrates. Unlike FR4, FR1 dust does not contain fiber glass. It is also a softer material, which means a less wear and tear on the drill bits. Download the template and incorporate them into your design here. 10 substrates included.
When you start to run out of space in your design, migrate over from the small substrates to these. These substrates are made of FR1 – which means they don't contain fibreglass. There is less wear on the drill bits. Download the template and incorporate them into your design here. 6 substrates included.
These boards are the maximum substrate size the V-One can handle. Just clamp them to the printing platform and press print to dispense the ink.
Pack of 6
Exact size is 4” x 5.3”
Need to dispense your own UV sensitive fluids (up to 550nm)?The pack includes:
4x 5cc UV-Blocking Syringe Barrels
4x Standard Fit Pistons (white)
4x High Viscosity Fit Pistons (red)
4x Tip Caps
4x End Caps
2x Female to Female Luer couplers
The Conductor 3 ink is optimized for printing both rigid and flexible circuits. The printer lays down silver conductive ink to make the traces and pads that comprise your circuit board. After thermal curing, the ink is conductive and ready for reflow.
Specificaties
Recommended curing temperature is 90°C for 5 minutes, then 120°C for 20 minutes (temperature measured at ink surface).
Compatible with FR1, FR4, and flexible substrates.
For best results, cure immediately after printing.
Solder with tin-bismuth-silver solder wire and flux at 180°C, or use preset profile for reflow soldering.
Note: Cartridges must be kept refrigerated, and have a shelf life of 12 months.
A set of high precision drill bits, covering the most common drill bit sizes. Just pop them in the V-One Drill with a 2.5 mm hex key (not included) and start drilling. The following sizes are included (2 of each): 0.70 mm 0.80 mm 0.90 mm 1.00 mm 1.60 mm
If you're hand soldering components with the provided solder wire, make sure to use flux to promote solder wetting. Out of solder wire? The wire in our store has been tested for best performance with the conductive ink and standard copper.
The Hello World circuit is the first circuit you print with your V-One. Have more than one person using your V-One? Then you might want more Hello World kits!The Hello World kit contains:
6x Green LEDs
3x 47k Resistors
3x 180R Resistors
3x 100k Resistors
3x 4.7UF Capacitor
1x 555 timer
1x 9V battery
Looking to dispense materials with a lower viscosity? These are the nozzles for you. Don't use this with our standard ink or solder paste... that will result in poor performance.This pack contains 4 extra fine nozzles with an internal diameter of 0.100 mm (4 mil)
If you want to push the resolution limits of the V-One, these dispensing tips will help enable your experimental projects. This pack contains 4 extra fine nozzles with an internal diameter of 0.150 mm (6 mil).
Do not use with solder paste! It will clog!
Keep printing with a pack of 4 nozzles (225 micron inner diameter). These metal dispensing tips offer excellent resolution and accurate deposition of ink and solder paste.
The Punk Console circuit is an advanced tutorial to get you familiar with the V-One Drill attachment. Learn how to create a double sided board and turn the knobs to create music! The kit contains: 2x Green LEDs 8x 1k Resistors 3x 0.01uF Capacitor 2x 500K Trimpots 1x 556 Timer 1x Piezo Buzzer 1x 9 V Battery 1x 9 V Battery Connector Rivets and a V-One Drill are required.
Use the right tool for the right job. These steel stakes are used to press the rivets on the PCB after holes have been drilled. They have been designed for optimum performance on the ink and ensure an electrical connection between the top and bottom layers of your PCB. Learn how to use them here.

Do you need a way to connect the top and bottom layers? Rivets are the key!Rivets are little copper tubes that make a mechanical connection between the top and bottom layer. We found rivets to be the easiest way to create vias. Be sure to pick up the corresponding rivet tool if you don't have one!

To protect the V-One from any damage during drilling, mount this piece of FR1 on the heated bed and clamp your substrate on top. The V-One Drill attachment will perforate your substrate but won't make it through this layer so your heated bed stays intact. Only one is included, but don't worry, the sacrifical layer can be reused plenty of times.
