• Hot air station

  • aka reflow station

• Solder

  • Solder Paste

  • Normal Solder

• Flux

  • We use flux infused solder usually so we don’t need a lot of this

• Solder wick

  • We’re running low on this and might as well get some while we’re ordering currently

• Solder Clamps thing

  • For holding wires are you solder them

  • This would be very useful for non-SMD solder

• Wide heatshrink

  • Just like a variety pack or something

  • We already have a lot of smaller heatshrink which we don’t really need

• Hot Tweezer Station

  • I believe our current solder station has a hot tweeze tool

• Hot Plate

  • We may already have one?

    • Would be good to get a nice new one if we do

    • Part of me thinks we don’t tho, hmmm

• Current Clamp, standalone unit or one that connects to oscilloscope

  • Not right now at least though it would be useful

    • Out of budget

    • Too complex

  • Need a different type of clamp to measure AC vs DC

  • If we go with oscilloscope connected one be sure it's compatible with out fancy Keysight oscilloscope

    • We have a current clamp from Keysight already, but we never got it working.

    • We should spend more time with that one before purchasing something.

• Solder Station

  • The one we have is great so ignoring this for the time being

• Solder Iron tips

  • We don’t need any yet

Priorities for this purchase (orderedin order)

1. Reflow Station

   1. Need this to solder our new boards we just ordered

2. Hot plate

   1. Will be extremely useful for soldering our new boards

3. Solder wick

   1. Cheap

   2. Easy to source

4. Wide Heatshrink

   1. For making our competition drone look clean this is a necessity

   2. The alternative to this is ugly electrical tape

5. Soldering Clamps

   1. Low priority

   2. Will be very useful when it comes time to solder wires for our final competition drone
