I have no tools whatsoever, i have literally one kit https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0188TO4VU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have done what I can with it. I recently but a smart car and an official leonardo board.... then realized I need 2 motor shields in order to use the smart car.
This made me realize that I am not very prepared to build any real projects. What tools(like screwdrivers and crap) do you use and what modules do you feel are most important to get early on.
I would appreciate any advice at all, related or unrelated.
