Things You Want

We put in regular orders for electronic components and keep a large stock in the space, if you wish to use components from the space or want to add something to the next order, read the components page.

If you want the space to buy equipment, books or anything else, add it to the Wishlist or to the Pledges.

If you want to buy something yourself, have a look at the suppliers page

Things We Have

This list is nowhere near comprehensive. It's also eternally out of date. If you actually want to see what we have, drop by the space and have a look.

About items on loan to the hackspace: In addition to reading any labels on the device, you might want to read its wiki page first to make sure you're staying on the right side of the owner.

We insist that anyone using some of our equipment gets training.
