Electronics Lab Purge - Last Chance to Get Parts

Wednesday is good for me

I’ll help on Wednesday, too.

Wednesday it is at ~6pm. Thanks for all the offers of help!

Wednesday works for me!

I will be there as soon as I can after work to help.

Hello — New-ish member here. I’m glad I checked the postings before driving over to help Tuesday evening. Was looking forward to meeting some folks, clean-up is a good way to do that. I can’t on Wednesday. So hello to all and I look forward to meeting you some other time.

Ugh. I was there last night, not going to make it tonight.
If you get the urge to throw out any kind of lamps or light bulbs, please don’t – I’ll take them.

Sorry, we are not sorting or holding stuff. If it is useful it will go in a bin until end of the week.

How late do you guys think you will be there tonight? I need to probably pick up my adafruit order but today is my sons birthday.

I’ll be here until we are done. At least until 8-9pm.

I am going to be a bit late considering the traffic map appears to have bled out on itself.

Well, obviously you must be sorting things, if you’re making a determination (on what criteria?) as to what “is useful” (to whom?).

I think what he means is that sorting parts for you opens up a can of worms for picking favorites and “you didn’t tell me I could call stuff!!!”. So we just aren’t doing that as a policy. But maybe I’m reading too much into that.

Eargh… work sucked me back in before I left… I hope you guys have had good luck on this. Sorry about not making it out.

If it was through hole and there were a bunch, it was kept. If it was SMT and there was a reel’s worth it was kept. The packs of small quantities were dumped. There are bins of it outside the room that you can pick through for donations.

Bins are not included and should not be taken.

TheLab.ms in Plano would love to pick up anything left over. We just started getting our electronics lab together and are not picky. :wink:

Love to help get you started. We set aside some good stuff. Probably be able to help with some gear too.

End of what week? Like in two days?

Thanks to all who came out last night. We really went through all the parts. Good useful stuff was set aside. The rest went into the bins in the hallway.

Feel free to take what you want and please make a donation to electronics. We already collected about $60.

A Super Thanks goes out to, in no particular order:

@coloneldan (always pitching in around the space), @Kluper (excellent choice of food!), @wandrson (parts evaluation coordinator), @artg_dms (trusty sidekick who reminds me to keep something), @AlexRhodes (master box manipulator), @Robert_Davidson(access to the bullet time system), @mrcity (enthusiastic repurposer), @childofthehorn (the brakes on Mr. City), @uglyknees (could not sway her to take parts for art), @Raymond (parts parser extraordinaire, and big spender)

I’m sure I missed a few, so pat yourselves on the back, you deserve it!

It will stay as long as people don’t trash the area. At least until Friday the 19th.
