Around again
08/10/2017 at 21:17 • 0 commentsI got the box again over a month ago, but I have been working ridiculous hours and haven't had a chance to really mess with it. Upon opening it, I was very surprised to see some of the cool stuff in there as well as how much had changed since I started it on it's journey. Here's what I took out:
Some stickers, LEDs, retractable LAN cable, STM32 Dev board, and what looks to be some kind of motion sensor.
Here's what I put in:
A Wifi quadcopter, some solder braid, a Pi Zero with the Scroll Phat, and a Hackvision that I never got to work properly. It's on it's way to jlbrian now!!

The box is here
06/25/2017 at 02:25 • 2 commentsGot the box today! Very interested in what was in the box, I put off my honey do list to dig in. Opening it up it was like looking in to a hackers treasure trove. So I took some of the Items that I thought I might use in the months coming up. Even as I was picking stuff out, I thought of a project to build and got parts for that to. But wait there is not enough room or what I want to add (oh no!!!). So I put stuff aside that was to bulky and repackage the counter (and bob your uncle) I got every thing to fit ( minus one car dash 7" tft screen for the RPI). I am also adding a few red and or UV leds. One pack is not labeled could be blue who knows.
Every thing in the box.
What I got out of the box. The thing in the silver packaging and yellow sticker I took to find out what it was.
What I put in the box. Leds are not in the photo. and if I can find one I will include a RFC pill for the RFC reader (that if I can find it before I send it, and yes I said pill.)
Edit 6/29/2017*
I added some Leds, jack plugs one male, one female, a grove touch switch for the WIO node, a ATtiny programmer ( I dont know what it programs ebay buy for $2) and some long header pins. Before I got it ready to send.

My stop!
04/07/2017 at 00:12 • 0 commentsThis is what i left, spare the servo controller (https://www.adafruit.com/product/815) which i forgot until it was all packed:
this is what I kept:
I had a great idea with the ipaq. it runs windows, so i'm going to get the arduino ide to work on it. Thanks you guys, my dad and I had a ball looking through the stuff! he's a electrician, so when he saw the tape he said "wow, somebody even threw tape in here!" a minute later "oh, this isn't even the good stuff" he says they call it "jap-wrap" and it's the cheap kind it does not hold at all on big cables in the winter XD only an electrician. electrical tape is electrical tape i told him.

A single step
03/29/2017 at 13:03 • 0 commentsSo I almost have the box full. Most of the stuff is pretty good (from my point of view), but there were a couple filler items. That being said, this box has hundreds of dollars of electronics/hardware hacking goods. No stickers though (I use every one I get almost instantly, lol). Please don't steal it. Here's a random incomplete list of what I remember dropping in there last night:
Couple of Arduino Nano clones
A Digispark or 2
MSP430
Stellaris Launchpad
X-slice dev board
Old camcorder - tape deck is shot, but the flip out screen and eyepiece screen both still work
A few Playstation style joysticks with breakout
Assortment of different sized FR4 prototyping boards
RGB LED strip with 12V adapter
Induction charging kit from Adafruit
Mini breadboard(s)
15 CR2032s
16x2 LCD
Compaq iPaq Pocket PC with charger and dock
24VDC counter
Random PCBs from OSH park
Also added a small tackle box with:
Micro SD breakout
A bunch of small screens
~10 Microswitches
Vibration motors harvested from Xbox controllers
Male and female headers
LED bars
RCA Jacks
...And that's all I can remember, lol. To me, it's less important to list everything, so that way everyone will get a surprise when they open it. I will finish filling it up tonight and send it out to @jlbrian7 tomorrow. Will update the main map with the first leg of the journey soon.
