While looking through Make Magazine’s blog, I noted a link to the Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronics Junk project and quickly realized that it would be a great opportunity for me to off-load some of my accumulated electronics junk treasures before I move to a different place in State College, PA. The rules are pretty simple: add some components if you keep some components; document your box on your site/blog or flickr; choose an individual who wants a box; send it off after two weeks! I am going with a theme of microcontroller related treasures so I will include the following contents:
- P16PRO40 PIC programmer, parallel port version
- Set of PIC16F84A chips and a pair of crystals (10MHz, 4MHz)
- 2×16 LCD display
- My personal Atmega 8051 board with battery-powered NVRAM, RS232 and built-in PAULMON
- A (UNTESTED!!, may break something) USB-PIC board I built that needs to be programmed
- An original Nintendo Entertainment System cartridge that I modified to accept standard flash chips
- A power/eject button assembly from a Sony Playstation 2
- A numeric keypad
- A rotary potentiometer with a digital readout
- A mouse from a Digital Equipment Corporation VAXStation
- Assorted passive components
- Assorted logic gates
- Solderless breadboard
- 5V DC wall adapter
I will pick someone from the list of individuals on the Box Request page, so add yourself there if you are interested. Also, keep in mind that this may be a good opportunity to do some spring-cleaning yourself.
See: the microbox!
