Subject: Multimeter/Soldering Iron Clarification

From: "klstay" <kevinstay@...>

Since this is all new to me, I don't really know what I need. I have
decided to try building some of the simpler modules. (Paul, you'll
get the kit order next week.) I want a set of building and
calibration tools that will get the job done reliably for years to
come.

I will probably go with a Weller WTCPT. I understand it is reliable
and more than adequate for my level of planned use. However, I still
have no idea what tips to get for building the kits!?!

A good approach for troubleshooting and calibration will probably
only come from experience. Still, I'd like to waste as little time as
possible "thrashing about" at first. Would someone be kind enough to
outline some rudimentary calibration procedures they use for various
modules and the types of tools needed to get the job done.
