Bogan tech nights Chch: First Tuesday of the Month

[h4nd]

I have a pretty well equipped electronics workshop, and would like to repay some of the assistance I've gotten over the years from the group.

 

If you're building, repairing, programming a thing, and would like proper soldering irons, hot-air reflow, digital 'scope, etc I'll lend some time over a beer / sharn on a you pay-it-forward basis. I've got a reasonable stock / junk bin, but best plan is probably to gave a headsup what you're working on, I'll see if I've got parts, we'll see what night suits people.

 

I'll try different nights, because people have different obligations.

 

So, Tuesday 4, I'll be looking at my 50W LED torch, and maybe my garden / lawn / cat waterer, and who knows, maybe some other junk.

Good fun catching up tonight, hopefully our sacrifice to Lord Lucas will keep the electron gods satisfied

Heh. I was amused. For onlookers, we bumped up the supply on Nick's annealer from about 250 watts to about 750 from the 1.5kW I had lying around. Cheap relay wasn't even lifting.

I'm interested to know about/make this annealer.. have a wssm and it destroys cases after a couple of loads..

I can make a shopping list or you're welcome to pop over and run a few through it to see how they go, all up about $60-70 just need a power supply
