The design philosophy encourages low cost development and assembly by hobbyist amateurs using common tools such as 25 watt soldering iron, multimeter, logic probe (optional), and common hand tools.
A soldering iron and supplies are often necessary to build high-performance battery packs or install upgraded electronics with low-resistance connectors.
Soldering is the preferred joining method where strong, watertight joints are required, such as for internal gutters, roofing, and flashing applications.
