I just gave one of each item that's duplicated in the hardware library to
kick-start another hardware library (reproducing like amoeba). After doing that
it looks a bit bare. Please consider if there's anything you can donate at the
next meeting.
I recently received a donation of a significant quantity of RAM and a
video card. I'll bring it on Saturday.
I am visiting my home city Melbourne for family reasons, from London.
Packing was a flurry of activity, and my attempts at packing light may
have been over the top.
I used to attend LUV meetings in the early 00's. I'm unable to come to
whatever event is scheduled this Saturday. Nevertheless I'd love to
come to an event before my return to London in mid-December.
I would love to borrow some hardware for a few weeks if any of the
following is available.
Important:
- Monitor cable adapters (mini-HDMI adapter, micro-HDMI adapter, etc)
- A keyboard (USB)
- A mouse (USB)
- Ethernet switch + .AU PSU
- EU or UK power board
Other things:
- USB-to-UART (3.3V TTL-level or 5V RS232) converters
- USB-to-USB serial comms cables with integrated converters (for
computers and serial consoles with no COM port -- to connect an Intel
NUC to a serial console emulator on a ThinkPad X230 or MacBook Pro, in
other words, to convert my laptop computer )
- Associated hardware such as DuPont cables, breadboards, etc
- USB to USB-OTG cables and good quality .AU USB mains chargers
After I return I would send a care package+donation to LUV's hardware
library. This would include serial comms equipment, MCU's, logic
analyzers, SBC's, etc.
I have some enterprise hardware (Supermicro servers, RAM, SSD's, SAS
HDD's, etc) some of which I would be happy to donate if LUV helps with
shipping and packaging costs from UK. Assuming this is economical.
For now I would prefer to borrow due to a.) the large amount of hardware
I already have in London; b.) ongoing attempts to minimize landfill
hardware; and c.) minimizing wasted money.
Kind regards,
Andrew
