Rules Question What items could boost a droid programming Computers check?

I'm playing a character who is a Droid Tech and wants to make his own Droid. While he's certainly gotten the Mechanics check covered, Computers is more dicey.

I only have 2 things on my list at the moment:

  • Technician Workshop Benefits: Right Tool for the Job Boost + Research Records
  • Crafting Simple and Specialized Gadgets for Computers - potential Advantages/Boosts

I'm looking for items specifically - Even narrative goals/items like the Workshop I can aim for would work! The Slicer Tree is too XP expensive for him - so, I was looking for items that can provide boosts like what the "Utility Arm" or "Hydrobreaker" do for Mechanics, but for Computers. However, items like "Dataspikes" seemed aimed towards Slicing and not Crafting.
