Silly Job Title: Current Curator. I am the Current Curator!

In this video we follow the instructions to build the Space Drop handheld computer game which you can buy in kit form from here: Space Drop Solder Kit.

The kit comes with the software preinstalled on the D1 Mini microcontroller, but in this video we replace the code with our own version of the code just to see if we could. And we could! Our code is here: Space_Drop.ino.

We use the METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station for soldering.

We use the Pro’sKit SS-331H Desoldering Pump to remove the OLED screen which I accidentally installed without the spacer.

We use the MUIN Solder Fume Extractor to clear the air.

We use the Bysameyee Head-Mounted Magnifier for magnification.

We use the Scotch Titanium Scissors to chop up the packaging for scrap-booking.

We use the Hakko CHP 3C-SA Precision Tweezers for holding solder off cuts.

We use the Plato Model 170 Wire Cutter to snip off component leads.

We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.
