As I stuff my backpack full of random shit this morning in south Pasadena, I'm reminded of all the cool projects I had in mind when I acquired said shit over the last few years. Generally speaking, I didn't bring any materials to the conference that I'm not willing to part with, although some of the more expensive items (such as the Moog slip ring) may require a bit more persuasion to pry from my clutches. My preference is that this stuff is used for badge hacking at the con, but I'm also happy to supply bits and pieces for off-site projects provided you eventually show me what you made.
Boards
- Teensy v3.2, v3.5, v3.6
- Arduino Pro Mini (I've got a bunch)
- 1bitsy
- STM32F0 Discovery
- STM32F4 Discovery
- STM32F0 breakout (TSSOP20 version)
- Particle Photon
- Particle Electron (this will require significant persuasion)
- Raspberry Pi breadboard GPIO breakout (belongs in this category, I guess)
Sensors
- Thermocouple w/amp breakout
- Mic preamp breakouts
- Barometric pressure sensor
- A bunch of discrete phototransistors (SMT)
- 38 kHz-specific IR receiver modules
- PIR motion sensor
- Round resistive force sensor (bare leads)
- Precision strain gages, 350 ohm nominal, type EA-06-125BZ-350
Output Devices
- Muscle wire with springs and crimpie-dos, 50 um and 125 um
- 9g servos with hardware
- LEDs, all sorts of weird ones, mostly SMD. Red/Blue, bottom-mount RGB, 650nm deep red, IR, etc.
- Obscenely large and intimidating brushless gimbal motor with passthrough shaft
Bare components (mostly SMT)
- AVR chips: ATtiny88, ATtiny44A, ATtiny45, ATmega328P
- STM32F0 (TSSOP20 version)
- LDOs: 5V 1A, 5v 50mA, 3.3V 0.6A
- Misc ICs: HC595s (in an obscenely tiny package), gyros, Schottky diodes, comparators, op amps
- Passives: trimmer pots, all different kinds of buttons (SMT, snap-action, etc), resistor networks, 0.1 ohm precision resistors, tantalum caps, etc.
Other random interesting items
- FR4, mostly 1/16" 1oz single sided
- A few partial sheets of Dragonplate (CFRP)
- A sheet of LED phosphor material (changes blue into white!)
- A really nice 24-conductor Moog slip ring, currently wired with mostly parallel leads (but can be easily reconfigured)
- 50' of 0.75mm plastic fiber optic cable
- A few interesting high voltage items
Tools (that can be used but not taken)
- Auto wire strippers
- JST GH crimper with 4-position housings, 26 AWG wire, and SMT headers
- Tin snips (great for cutting FR4)
- Shitty calipers
- Multimeter
- Cutting mat
- Extra Olfa box cutters with spare blades (for FR4 carving!)
- USBtinyISP with a breadboard breakout
- A few needle files
- Various USB cables
Consumables
- Wire: 26 AWG, wire-wrap, 34 AWG magnet, a few high voltage leads
- Solder, flux, and solder braid
- Kapton tape, 1/2" and 1"
I'm probably forgetting a few things. If any of this crap seems useful, find me today or tomorrow.
