gwdeveloper 275 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 @SugarAddict Now, I don't feel so bad for having so many MSP430 devices... 6 Launchpads, 2 Chronos, 2 Fraunchpads, EXP5529, 7 RF2500t. I think you have me beat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PentiumPC 119 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sometimes I think I thrive in my Mess, I think better, everything seem to be within reach. After my relocation, I was lost for a long time until I create this new mess.. I had 6 Launchpads, 3 were given to some kids in hope they will pick up interest in EE..

I think you have me beat. Oh... that's just one drawer... It has 2 Chronos, RF2500 (and three T's), 7 LP's, 2 FRAM, 2 of my G2xx3 boards with chip and 6 without chip, my F2274 boards (both versions), my RTC board, 2 touch boosters... Now, not in that drawer is 1 more FRAM, 4 more LP's, and a jackload of other random boards I've tinkered with. I was trying to put a lot of things in one place so I knew where they were... they used to be all over the place, 2 in a BB, a few loosely wired to other stuff... I'm trying to clean up and get organized. I REALLY just need to get my own home so I can go OCD on an entire room for computer/electronics. I HAD to make that workbench or I would've gone nuts, and even still it's just not enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hvontres 22 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I realize this is kind of an old thread, but I finally got around to re-organizing my space in the garage. Here is the Before Picture, kind of my Bob Pease Memorial Shrine on a desk: Here is the new improved Setup: Note, I have not moved over all of the parts and tools from the old pile yet. I am hoping to keep most of my stuff in the big black cabinet. Most of the stuff here is surplus stuff from work. We are moving to a smaller building, so I scored the ESD safe bench, the cabinet, the two standard monitors, the chair and the magnifier. The scope I got off of Ebay for ~$400 bucks and the supply is an old AT (not ATX ) supply in a custom wood box. The 15" Monitor on the left is for the scope and was originaly a custom monitor in a STEEL box for one of our machines. we decided to go with regular displays instead, so it wound up in the boneyard until we cleaned that out about a year ago Someday it might end up as a display on a mill or somthing more industrial, but I don't know yet. The Computer and the SCSI enclosure were leftovers from IT, as were the tape drive and all of the Hard Drives inside. I am in the middle of upgrading the disk layout since I got a hold of a couple more 18 and 34 GB SCSI drives from the IT pile. The Computer is an old HP workstation with dual PIII 600's inside... I know it's kind of underpowered, but it has two isa slots for my GPIB card and the interface to the universal programmer. And the price was right. I still need to move over my microscope, but I need to figure out exactly where to mount it. GeekDoc and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

petertux 40 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 @@petertux Is that a custom clip holder for your PCB. I like it. it gets the job done most of the time. it's a bare metal base and the clips have magnets in the bottom part. they got me in trouble once when I was trying to debug a pcb that had tiny reed relays. at first I could not understand how that board works as expected when inside the product and gets all weird while in that stupid stand of mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
