In the post!

I have begun ordering tools and materials to start putting my prototype together, once they arrive I will begin constructing the device, and begin experimenting with the Arduino outside of the simulator.

Parts:

• 10KΩ resistors
• 220KΩ resistors
• Alligator clips
• Arduino
• Shielded cable, cut off the ends, cut into (3) 2' lengths
• Aluminum foil 
• Masking tape 
• Computer with Processing and Arduino software installed
• pieces of cardboard (3)

Tools:

• Soldering iron
• Spray mount or a glue stick
• Wire cutter/stripper

As well as these tools I have also Aquired a "Helping Hand" with a magnifier, so that I can be precise when soldering.
