Electronics Workbench
General Info
The Hackspace has a well stocked electronics workbench in the PC Lab, useful for project work, troubleshooting and repair.
The workbench is mostly maintained by Lel.
There is an isolation transformer wired into the main ring, this is for safer diagnostics of live electronics. *WARNING* Do not plug in diagnostic tools / oscilloscope into this as it will make it go pop (earth differential issues). There is a warning on the box not to do this.
Electronic Components
The vast majority of components that are in our component supply were donated by a local resident from his late sons collection. If you use something from it, please pay it forward by ordering replacements from aliexpress/eBay or similar on the slow boat, as often this components are very cheap you may end up with many more than you need, please feel free to donate them to the space so we can continue running workshop sessions and increase our component supply.
