You're going to be soldering together the Basic Board (BB), which is blue. In order to do so, you need a few materials!
##Battery holder
##battery
The soldering iron and related equipment can be found in DaBL's soldering kits which are located within plastic containers found at the back of the lab under the tool wall. In DaBL, there are two types of solder: leaded and non-leaded. For the purposes of this activity either will do but keep in mind if you use leaded solder, lead is toxic and you should wash your hands after it is used. The electronic components can be found in the left most consumables chest nearest the sink. Ask a Creative and Technical Specialist (CaTS) if you need any help locating materials.
Now turn off your iron, and return all the tools back to their rightful positions in the shop - ''but be mindful of the iron, cradle, and station''. The iron needs to cool down before storing it. Let it sit for five to ten minutes, and then pack it up as well.
