@jlbrian7 got a box from @Sophi Kravitz , and it's now in Latvia, in MakeRiga hackerspace. Next stop is likely in Estonia, unless @Benchoff advises otherwise.
Box:
Yes, it did cost $93 to ship =D
The books are great! It seems that we're grabbing the Forrest M. Mims book, or one of the others.
Some misc PCBs - theremin (working), Adafruit Circuit Playground, something something LEDs microphone PCB (working), 2x RFM12BS, protoboards, double relay board and, well, a Tandy PC-6! Tandy's batteries are flat, so they need to be replaced - hopefully, I'll test it.
PIC development stuff - a programmer with COM port, an universal PCB for programming, some cables and a devboard. There are also: an Olimex PIC devboard, a PIC16 with a sticker over the code and some Fubarinos!
There's also a PSU for the PIC stuff:
Some random stuff:
I took the RFM modules, some protoboard, miniUSB cables (from the Fubarino packaging), as well as salvaged the PCB (IIRC, it was from an X-Ray, from the markings) for components (the wire header is already used in the homegrown PoE splitter I built today, and the transformer might just turn into a nice small dual-pole supply for op-amp experimentation, considering it has two secondary windings). One member took the Adafruit Circuit Playground, another took the Tandy PC-6. We might also take a book of two - even more likely if the box weight will be over the price break for shipping (same goes for the aluminium cooler block). UPD: in fact, yet member of our hackerspace took the Forrest Mims book, and I took "Real-Time Embedded Components and Systems with Linux and RTOS" - the latter has too sexy of a name to be left unattended (and is also the biggest book of them all, so certainly won't fit).
Items to be added:
- An old Robotron coax cable
- 4x ИВ-8 (Nixie?) tubes
- 3x MAX11300
- 4x ATTiny1634
- 2x ESP-201 boards (nobody cares about them anyway)
- 4x rose capacitors (special order, one of our members was in China at a capacitor factory and they ordered a small batch of those special capacitors)
- Some kind of "RF-controlled relay board with some more stuff" - without the RF daughterboard
- A small 8x8 single-color LED matrix
- A Chinese <$1 powerbank (after non-extensive usage, doubles as a hand warmer/firestarter - from our experience)
- A Mikrotik RouterBOARD 112 PCB - untested
- An Arduino Nano
- A PIC16F15376 devboard we got as a free sample recently
- A big Soviet potentiometer
- Some 30V SPST relays (actually, 24 of them)
- Some 10-pin male-female pin headers
- A CT-1612UB GPS module
- ChipKit Pi
- 10x 3-digit 7-segment displays
- 2x MMR-70
- Some random piece of protoboard (used)
There are more items (and stickers) we'll add, I'll prepare them and take pictures of them shortly.
UPDATE: I added some last minute items. Unfortunately, my goddamn camera grabled the photos, and my memory is leaky. I do remember putting in two #IMTAIDKW - ESP12 4-digit display I assembled right before sending the box out, a devboard from a company that has gone bankrupt long ago, as well as an old smoke detector (likely to be of the radioactive kind ;-) ) I wanted to add some more items, but only stumbled upon them after I've thoroughly covered the box in duc{k,t} tape.
