DIY Beginner
Where to start as a DIY beginner?
At first please think about the following points: - DIY is a lot of work which takes a lot of time! - Don't start if you just want to clone something and build it cheaper! That's mostly an illusion!
So where to start?
Tools: - Don't use a cheap soldering iron (better use one from Weller, Ersa, ...)!
