Buy stuff to make stuff

I Check out the flyer: its a stupid mail-in rebate but I’ve never had a problem with these. The irons are $20 off ($80 total) and the shears are $4 off ($0.60 total). You can get the tools at All Spec or Jameco.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

    I have a WESD51 (with the digital thermostat) and I love it, best hobby investment I’ve made. I got it for about $120 at hmcelectronics.com but I don’t think I really needed the digital readout, so WES51 is fine.
