This is a page to properly organise the Electronics Group and the electronics area that we might end up with.
Workshop colour: PCB Mask Green, #008C4A
Members
Equipment
Soldering Stations
- Each soldering station should have:
- OKI/Metcal PS-900 Iron and Power supply
- OKI/Metcal PS-900 Stand, sponge, and tip cleaner
- A variety of suitable tips
- Hot Air gun
- Solder sucker
- Cutting mat (for cutting, not soldering)
- Heat-proof soldering mat (for soldering, not cutting)
- Side cutters
- Wire strippers
- Anti-static tweezers
- Vaccuum pick-up tool
- Helping hands
- Magnifying lamps
- Fan or Fume extractor
- Additionally shared between them we should have:
- Reflow oven
- Desoldering gun
- PCB holder (Maybe one small, one large)
- Video microscope (direct to video, not via software)
- Solder paste dispenser
- Hot glue gun
- A large whiteboard
- Small screwdrivers and other misc tools
- Trimmer tools (AKA 'pot twiddler' - like Vishay part number ACCTRITOB308-T000 )
- Large and small crimping tools
Test Equipment
- Digital Oscilloscope
- Analogue Oscilloscope
- Logic analyser (Maybe a few of the knockoff USB ones?)
- Affordable and adequate multimeters - M890G for introductory experimenter/beginner work, Vici VC99 for midrange tinkering.
- High accuracy bench multimeter - Solartron 7150 supplied by Nigle
- Electronic DC Load
- Small bench power supplies (100 watt)
- Big bench power supply (Artag will return the Farnell used previously, or a smaller but less flexible one. Both 10A 30V max)
- Bigger bench power supply - 60V 30A would be good
- Signal/Function generator - FeelTech FY6600
- Component tester
- 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
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
Coax - audio and RF types
- Heatshrink sleeves/sleeving
- Flux pens
- Small and medium sized breadboards
- Flux and other cleaners (isopropyl alcohol, etc.)
- Drywipe markers
- Glass fibre abrasive pens
Components
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.)
- 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
