It’s about time we decided on what kind of consumables we should stock at the electronics bench.
I’ll update this main post with the final list as we go, so please check the first post before making any suggestions. This list will then be used to populate a reorder form on the bench so people can report when we’re low on consumables.
The things below are a bit more esoteric but maybe aren’t core consumables?
JST Crimps and Housings
JST-XH Crimps and Housings
Bullet Connectors (For those times you forget one)
XT60 Connectors
I’m sure i’ve missed something, so please chime in with what you’d like to see in the core consumables at HSBNE.
Wire wrapping wire
I’d suggest 0.7mm solder, personal preference.
Current E12 stock of resistors
E12 series capacitors
An inductor for each order of magnitude. 1, 10, 100mH
LED’s, green and yellow along with the red ones.
Generic prototyping board along with instructions on how to use it if funds allow.
We have a $2 mechanical vending machine somewhere that we could put some 3A buck / boost regulators in.
