Laptop with any kind of O.s installed
What would be great to have:
Headphones..
Bredboard and cables
Enclosure for your project (cd spindle box.. etc,,),
Potentiometers/ faders (100k) and any kind of sensor with analog output can be used in this workshop. (infrared, ultrasonics, accelerometers, flexibility..)
in the links above, there are suggestions, maybe in the local electronics shop you can find something..
some tools to make holes in plastic (electric/manual drill, etc..)
some other tools that can be useful for cut, peel, srew& unscrew, glue, solder, hack, etc… (plyers, scisors, screwdrivers, multi tools..)
