Some places sell robot parts but they are soooo expensive, easy to get $100, to $500+ in a cart. But these days, you don't need to spend a fortune, especially if you use some cardboard or other cheap, easy to find items.

Slightly related (in mindset) to low-cost robotics: This book "Irreverent Photo Tools" has the same mentality -- using what you have on hand to take awesome photos, instead of throwing money at a solution.

@lethal lagoon Put it in containers and label them. I have those little zipper things that we sell, and I used a label maker to label everything. They looked at one of them once and were satisfied. Most likely they won't end up searching you anyway. If you're travelling with lipos, keep them separated from each other and in packaging where they won't short.

waxen thistle May 17, 2018, 1:57 AM

#

The next idea is a bit bulky, but lightweight -- a Panavise Jr. Or some sort of way of securing a circuit board.

#

From there on out -- depends on the work you're doing. Soldering gear, pliers, multimeter, logic analyzer, etc

#

Generally a spool of wire, some of those really nice latch connectors (https://www.adafruit.com/product/874), wire strippers, electrical tape/heatshrink tubing/fire source...

Most importantly, a few spare parts (spare boards, etc). Things break. At the worst possible time too.

lethal lagoon May 17, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

im trying to imagine what could break on the things i'm bringing, so i'm thinking zip ties, super glue, hot glue gun, gaff tape, soldering iron, solder, extra wire, electrical tape

#

great idea, i will bring spare boards

#

and a micro usb cable!

waxen thistle May 17, 2018, 2:04 AM

#

If you have a cheap mutimeter (like a freebie from Harbor Fright)...it's not good by any means, but it's ideal to see if you're getting 5v, 3v, or 29v (???)

#

And if it breaks or gets lost, you're out literally nothing.

#

And this is going to be a bulky suggestion -- a third-hands unit.

#

If you struggle without one at home in your lab, then you'll be pulling your hair out while in an unfamiliar environment without your full set of tools and tricks.

Wire strippers (with the fixed die sizes to make all cuts). Tweezers. Jeweler's philips head screwdriver. #2 philips screwdriver (2" stubby is fine). Diagonal cutters (small ones for electronics work, removing excess thru-hole leads after soldering).

Hemostats; Leatherman folding pliers.

Extra-long break-away pin headers to join two female Dupont connectors (or to mate such to a breadboard socket).

Made in 1989. The handle is unusual in that it accepts a threaded fastener (instead of the usual triangle shaped, tapered recess that accepts a standard metal file's tapered handle).

#

'pin vice' seems to turn up more hits in google's image search than does 'hand drill' for a similar device. Most 'hand drill' returns feature some mechanism besides the chuck. That mechanism provides the rotation (whereas mine is used exactly like a screwdriver).

#

I also have a 'screw starter' hand tool (also 25 years old) that is basically the threads of a wood screw etched into the shank of what would otherwise be a screwdriver.

#

Its job is to force a threaded pilot hole into soft pine that already has the threads (unlike predrilling a hole). Back that tool out, then use your wood screw as usual in that hole. Saves time if the wood is soft enough and thick enough not to split it.

eager sapphire May 17, 2018, 7:54 PM

Speaking of which, I have on occasion used a tap handle to hold a small drill bit, in a pinch

Good afternoon all you wonderful people!

Evening all. Better late than never. 😬

#

I'm glad I made it before the end. I wanted to catch up on this, because I think it's a handy project.

inner spade May 17, 2018, 9:01 PM

Audio still good.

I have been missing the entire broadcast -- and now I see a power glove. YES. That is so awesome.

#

Just don't snap your fingers, Mr. Thanos.

odd stream May 17, 2018, 9:14 PM

Powerglove! We had one kicking around the office at SteelSeries

It was in fairly bad shape... kind of skanky.

#

I was starting to work on something along those lines with IMUs and haptics.

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 2:30 AM

#

Hey guys. I am here. Just did not have discord installed on my mobile. Shawn@sensorthe.earth. Init6 is my trail name. Some thru hikers on the AT gave it to me.

#

It’s fitting!

@lethal lagoon now that kinect is reborn as project Kinect on Azure its good as its smaller and more smarter

quartz pasture May 18, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

@shell mason awesome thanks for mentioning that, I've been waiting for something a bit more robust to come out of Kinect for a while, those are some nice looking point clouds I'm seeing on the press release

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

@bitter relic You're sort-of local to me, I'm near Harpers Ferry.

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 4:26 PM

#

Nice. I love that town!

#

@prime sentinel have you hiked the AT?

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

Only a little (foot issues). 😦

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

I am working on section hikes

shell mason May 18, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

@quartz pasture nice way to implement to your maker projects?

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 4:50 PM

#

I came in partway through, so while I'm theoretically willing to help get your modem tones smaller, I'm not sure what the context is. Digitized audio waveforms?

#

packet radio

#

I would love the help

#

right now between the mountains and dropped packets

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

Oooh, packet radio, cool! I might even be in range.

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

i am trying to build a way to replay

#

nice

#

i am pinging a repeater

#

near Washington forest

#

the watershed i am in is northern va

#

but i could move it

#

do you have 4wd?

#

most of the places are deep in

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 4:55 PM

#

Alas, no 4WD. I was thinking radio range.

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 4:55 PM

#

ohh do you have a HAM Radio?

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

Yeah, a few radios, HF, VHF, and UHF.

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

I could always use another base station

#

HF nice

#

i am working on getting licensed for that

#

right now i am on 70m 433

#

i started with GMRS / MURS

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

Ah, nice. I had an adventure the day I upgraded my license. I got up, had a root canal, drove a couple of hours to Charlottesville for an emergency preparedness exercise, drove another couple of hours to Martinsburg, took my test there.

#

Bizarrely, I managed to pass after all that!

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

What repeaters can you hit?

#

ahh man

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 4:59 PM

#

I used to hang out on Wes's repeater on Mount Weather (WA4TSC, 147.3+)

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 5:00 PM

#

i can get W4AVA

#

i will try that one tonight

#

what is the FQ?

#

.300

#

K4MRA works at night

#

i need to get a better antenna

#

have you done SOTA Summits on the Air?

#

I could use a local Chaser

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

I've done some contesting in the foothills, but not SOTA. Even a little HT is a popular contact in some areas, and with some altitude I get good range.

#

Our radio club used to launch high altitude balloons, so I did some building/chasing for them.

bitter relic May 18, 2018, 5:04 PM

#

I have not made a successful contact

#

either i get there and something with the radio set up does not work or I dont get enough contacts

odd stream May 18, 2018, 5:04 PM

#

New England is nice. I spent some time a couple hours west of Boston. Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada which has much the same climate and geography.

prime sentinel May 18, 2018, 5:47 PM

That's the one. It's perched on a mountain, so it gets pretty good coverage in northern Virginia.

Most people want more channels, so a breakout for that part isn't nearly as likely. You don't need a breakout though right? You can test with the 04 or 08.

Adafruit probably has a breakout for the 08.
