/diy/ - Do It Yourself

first-timer here, I have pic related (a PSU) breadboarded and was planning on soldering a power cord to the AC transformer so I can check to see if my breadboard works as intended. My problem is that I don't have any solder, and don't know what kind to buy. I have strip board as well and I'd like to eventually be soldering my breadboard projects onto the strip board, so I'd like solder that works for that as well. Totally willing to buy two rolls of solder if necassary though, I just want to move the project forward.

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I need some high level help.

I got all the shit I need to solder together pic related (at least I think so, pic is from: http://www.synthdiy.com/files/2001/madm.pdf).). I'm going to have my brother (EE-type) help me put together this week, as I've never even soldered before. I'd basically like to work towards building a modular set up, but the very first thing I'd like to do is build a drum machine. So I have a couple questions.

Do I even need this power supply to build a drum machine? I'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DKU1m5_b_8, but it's more about building a Eurorack. I play bass so getting a little drummer buddy would be awesome, and I want to do that ASAP.

SO, I started looking around and saw Look Mum No Computer had a pretty cool build: https://www.lookmumnocomputer.com/projects/#/big-button (check the page for the video, towards the end it's pretty sweet). Is this something my planned power supply could play nice with? I'd probably grab something like the arturia keystep or microbrute for a similar MIDI controller.
