@RueNahcMohr I would say enough to fill a 48 port patch panel for short cables … two dozen 3-6fts. At least one 100ft cable because come day! And for you… you should have a roll of direct burial for the next crazy outdoor project

@RueNahcMohr @orionrobots I expect to see some midnight project post where you made you own IMU which includes 74xx logic and EPROMs…

@orionrobots You’re not having fun if you don’t blow up the occasional FET.

@orionrobots I have at least two dead Pi’s in my bag-of-shame tacked to my wall with some assorted mosfets, IGBTs, etc …

@orionrobots @JRBowling @PiWarsRobotics Seattle Robotics Society’s Pop-Can Challenge and now this year Robo-Magellan - it is a blast and keeps me chatting with fellow enthusiasts.. I don’t even care if I win it’s just fun to hang out with folks who put some passion into learning how to build a robot

[Chas Ihler @chasihler]

@JRBowling @orionrobots I have a robot that I build and then just rebuilt something on it, in a different way, every year. I compete with it in an autonomous robotics competition every year so it gives me a goal and a timeline to get what I can done.

@JohnS_AZ @elonmusk That’s crazy …

@tablatronix I took apart one of those wx states a while back as well to integrate it into another home automation system. Very cool lab.

@solarpunkgirl OnShape … it’s free

@RDKLInc I have a rolling toolbox tucked away under my bench so the tools are arms length away; it’s in drawers but I don’t mind because I don’t have to get up to grab what I need.

@Kk4Pyn When your wife says you have to sell your “extra “ stuff… to pay for your new stuff “guess no one wanted it love?! “

@NickT6630 @alannakelly_ie A 20 year old scope is a spring chicken … most the scopes I ever got were already over 20.

@kevsmac Brand … then I don’t generally have to mess with my slicer settings too much.

[Chas Ihler @chasihler]

@kevsmac I think a Pi has a much lower entry barrier than an ESP32.

@RueNahcMohr EMT? Nice use of some on hand materials

[Chas Ihler @chasihler]

@JohnS_AZ Once you have three or four analog scopes you realize you don’t need more than one or two … but very awesome score.

@JeremySCook I have a tiny little SCX24 RC truck that uses those
