Soldering Stations

Each soldering station should have:
- OKI/Metcal PS-900 Iron and Power supply
- OKI/Metcal PS-900 Stand, sponge, and tip cleaner
- PCB holder
- Solder (leaded and lead-free)
- Non-corrosive flux
- A variety of suitable tips
- Solder sucker(s) and desoldering braid(s)
- Cutting mat (for cutting, not soldering)
- Heat-proof soldering mat (for soldering, not cutting)
- Side cutters
- Wire strippers
- Anti-static tweezers
- Helping hands with magnifying glass
- Fan or Fume extractor
Additionally shared between them we should have:
- Reflow oven
- Desoldering gun
- Hot Air gun
- Solder paste dispenser
- Hot glue gun
- Small screwdrivers and other misc tools
- Trimmer tools (AKA 'pot twiddler' - like Vishay part number ACCTRITOB308-T000 )
- Large and small crimping tools

Test Equipment

Hantek DSO5202B (Manual) (Datasheet)
Hitachi VC-6545 Analogue Oscilloscope
Logic analyser (Maybe a few of the knockoff USB ones?)
JTAG programmers - 5 x Insight IJC-2
Atmel AVR ISP MKII (Manual)
Multimeters:
- Brymen BM235 (Manual)
- UNI-T UT70B (Manual) (Specifications)

- 2 x TTI PL320 - 32V 2A (Manual)
- Weir 460 - 60V 1A
Bigger bench power supply - 60V 30A would be good
Pulse/Function generators
- FeelTech FY6600
- ISO-tech GFG-8219A - 3MHz 50Ω (Manual)

- Thandar TG105 Pulse Generator - 5Mhz (Info)
Component testers:
- TC1 (small and portable) (Chinglish Manual)
- East Tester ET4410 (Manual)
Plenty of hookup leads
- 4mm (banana) to 4mm in 0.5 and 1m lengths
- 4mm to crocs (or provide 4mm crocs to plug on the end of the leads)
- miniature crocs to crocs
- BNC to 4mm
- BNC to miniature crocs
- BNC to BNC
~~Electronic DC Load~~

Consumables

Solder, Leaded in various sizes, rosin flux core
Solder paste (?)
Wire
- Hookup/breadboard wire in lots of pretty colours
- Multi-core in various gauges
- RF Coax
- Power cables: Mains, DC and HV
Heatshrink sleeves/sleeving
Flux pen
Breadboards:10 x 830 Tie points, 2 x 400 Tie points, 1 x 360 Tie points 1 x 936 Tie points, 1 x 390 Tie points
Flux and other cleaners (isopropyl alcohol, etc.)
Drywipe markers

Components

The current Components page is out of date and needs updating.

Need to keep these stocked up and replenished regularly

Training

We should offer some! Possible subjects...

Workshop introduction (How not to break everything)
Basic soldering
Advanced soldering (SMD, hot air, reflow etc.)
PCB Design
Basic/Advanced electronics
Arduino/Microcontroller programming
Amateur Radio Intermediate Practicals Course (Fitting mains and coax plugs, soldering basics, reading resistors, testing diodes, and building kits) - applies to a lot of non-radio electronics efforts
