Details About My Version

Parts List

NOTE: Not all of these are the exact parts I used, but they’re the closest links I could find.

Anti-Static Mat
A decent, inexpensive anti-static mat.

Helping Hands
An absolute must-have if you're soldering wires.

Neodymium Magnets Dia 1.26x1/8" w/ 3M Adhesives
Fantastic packaging to help keep the magnets from shattering, and make them easier to get apart.

Photoresistor Relay Module
You need two of these.

Red/Green Light Tower
This came from China. You might want to find a more local version.

Utility Box
You could probably get a smaller one, but Im glad I had this much room inside.

Aviation Connector 3-pin
You only need 1 of these, and you don't need the caps, so buy whatever you want.

Aviation Connector 4-pin
You only need 1 of these, and you don't need the caps, so buy whatever you want.

Toggle Switch SPST Waterproof
You don't need a waterproof one, but this should work fine.

Later.
