Components
The Hackspace carries a range of electronic (and other) components in stock. As a rule, members can use anything for free, as long as the cost is less than £1. However, if you're using more than £5-£10 worth of components a month, we'd appreciate a donation to cover those costs.
Purchasing
Please include a link to the item, preferably from Farnell or CPC (larger items are sometimes cheaper on CPC), or it won't be ordered.
Please do not edit the wiki as a way to comment on other people's requests. If a component needs ordering, move it to the top of the relevant list, and date the request.
If you're a member of the space we'll happily order components for you and take advantage of bulk discounts/free shipping. If the component you request is cheap, we may order more than you need and bring it into stock in the space (if that's the case, then it's free as above).
Urgent Requests
Please only add things here if they are urgent, and ask on the IRC channel or mailing list to make sure that someone with access to the Farnell account sees it soon.
- Replace this line with your request
Standard Requests
Items with a Farnell item will be ordered with the next batch, items not in Farnell will only be ordered from time to time.
- Set of heatshrink tubing, need a range such as: 1 2
- Liquid flux for reflow/SMT work non-farnell (ebay, but no longer in stock)
Previous orders (DO NOT EDIT)
This section is to keep track of past orders. DO NOT edit this section unless you have just made an order.
If you want to report stuff that's running low or missing, copy the relevant item to the Requests section. Making a mess of this page won't help us ordering the right components.
