Idea: MCU/parts swap or school donation postings? (lemmy.ca)

Hi, just found this community. The inaugural post here showing a desk top full of miscellaneous boards reminded me of the random bits I have in boxes, stored away and not being hacked on like they should be :/

I wonder if there would be interest here in a sort of swap-by-mail thing where we post boards or parts we feel bad about not using and swap them for other things, that we might want to use instead.. maybe an MCU dev kit for some sensors, or a even box of nice cookies if the hacking spirit is snoozing right now (as it is for me -- so many other things in life to do at the moment...)

I find it actually harder to focus on doing a project because there are too many bits in my boxes sometimes.

I think the idea of donating bits to schools for students to use would be cool as well, but haven't looked into it much (would they get used? Which schools have good programs with teachers that could actually use donations?)

no comments (yet)

A community for everyone who works with microcontrollers from SOT23-6 PICs and ATTINYs to PICs, STMs, and ESPs. All microcontrollers and all users are welcome here. If you're just starting out, read some posts and ask some questions. If you're building cool projects post picture and share your work. If you're a professional tell us about your project and answer questions. Blog posts and updates are encouraged. Let's talk about programming languages, IDEs, and programmers. Post code, schematics, and board layouts.

All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.

  1. Everyone (see rule 98) is welcome.

  2. If you’ve seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.

  3. There is no best microcontroller, language, IDE, or programmer, only what works best for you. There will be no elitist bullshit here. See rule 98.

[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]

  1. If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.
