Organizing Boxes

I want to liquidate a box containing electronic components and other items.

• I took three Muji carry boxes small and thin with me to this camp.

  • I didn’t have time to pick and choose what I needed.
  • heavy

• One is tagged “electronics.”

  • Not attached to the other two.
  • Tag these first
    • Life hack to put white curing tape and write with oil-based marker

• take a quick look at

  • Creating a detailed index is expensive.
  • First, get a rough idea of the current situation.

• 1

  • partition
    • It was functioning at first, but as we moved things around, it was no longer being used effectively.
  • Some parts in chuck bags, but not listed.

• 2

  • nippers
  • RasPi3
  • USB-UART
  • resistance
    • Honestly, I don’t need to carry all this stuff around and it’s heavy, so I’d like to do something about it.
  • speaker
  • breadboard
  • Empty bags of parts
    • You don’t need to carry this around.

• 3

  • tester
  • Ergodox
  • Jumper cables, wires, pin headers
    • A companion to the breadboard.”
    • tweezers
  • Various component sensors bought this time

next action

• In addition to this, there is one large box from a previous camp, and one box I don’t know what to call it.

• The whole thing is “cleaned up” Vague and large tasks.

• The best practice for tidying up is to “make one place tidy first”.

• Clearly, move out strange items (such as Ergodox) that should not be included in the electronic construction.

• Obviously frequent (breadboard area)

• There’s a separate “solder set” that I sometimes use at home (soldering iron provided) but not at the camp.

• Mainly carried at camps, so it can be divided into two categories based on “to take to camp or not to take to camp”.

• Empty 1.

  • Obviously, put in what you need for the camp.
    • tester
    • nippers
    • Jumper cables and wires
      • female and male missing persons
    • Raspi, AC adapter, power cable
  • Surprisingly, there is no place to put small parts.
  • It’s a little skimpy, so I’d like to put something in there to cushion it.
  • Conversely, the skimmer we have now is an essential space to bring back what we have assembled on the breadboard without disassembling it.

• Electronic component stuff is roughly in 2.

  • There were five delimited boxes, but I left one empty.

next action

• Organize the contents of 2.

  • Organize” is an ambiguous goal.
  • A mixture of what to take to camp and what not.
    • What to bring: Parts that may be reusable
    • What not to take: Items that were bought but not used and kept (FET, etc.)
  • Now that the visibility is poor, it should be easy to tell if the desired item is there or not.
  • Clear what you don’t need to take with you, but difficult to estimate if it’s worth it

• take

  • LEDs, Darlington drivers, shift registers, phototransistors
  • ZigBee
  • Capacitor inductors
  • Sensors, Switches, Variable Resistors
  • Amplifiers, three-terminal regulators, step-up DC-DC, electric double-layer capacitors
  • Motor, motor driver, relay touch board
  • A/D、D/A
  • Gotta have a bag (green)

• I’m not taking it.

  • electrical transistor
  • resistance
