Assortment of electronics (require soldering) (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
There are some level shifters, some stepper motor controllers, a couple of class-D audio amps and some RGB (non addressable) LEDs. And a clock! I’m convinced the level shifters aren’t the genuine chips, so don’t build anything mission critical…

Assortment of Raspberry Pi accessories (Handsworth S13)

These are mostly unused items that have been forgotten about! Some for full-size, some for Zero-size and some for both!

Record vice, broken — for parts only. (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
This old vice has been repaired once before, but now the repair has broken! It seems a shame to just scrap it if someone can use it for parts... Edit: Please note this is located at my place of work on the A.M.P. so it’s not available until next Tuesday. I can of course bring it home (it is mine by the way!), for collection after office hours.

Graphics Tablet (Handsworth S13)
Expired
This is a large graphics tablet (the active area is A4 in size) so it takes up a lot of desk space! It’s quite old so I would expect some compatibility issues with newer software.

Beginning C++ For Dummies Book (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
In a well-used condition (the corners are tad raggedy), and whilst it’s a few versions behind the latest ISO standard, it will be fine for beginners 👍🏻

Programmable handheld digital two-way radio. (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
You can probably tell from the USB mini B socket that this is a few years old — But it still works and charges up! It does not have set frequencies like a regular PMR, it has memories that YOU must programme the frequencies into. Some channels will already be set. Apologies; I can’t find the manual. NOTE: It has some capabilities that are not permitted to be used license-free and is not a pick-up-and-go device. 👍🏻

WiFi indoor camera, Little Elf brand (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
I discovered a little indoor WiFi camera in a drawer that we bought to watch our houserabbits. Most boring show ever — they just laze around during the day! Note: this is an indoor camera only. It is not suitable for viewing the outside through a window in low light due to the built-in IR LEDs which reflect on the glass!

KiCad book (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
The author has written this around version 5, but the basic processes are still the same for later versions — although the menus will be different.

Fuji Finepix USB cable (Handsworth S13)
Expired
This was for a Finepix F31fd compact camera, but works with other models too (I don’t know which as I never needed to know). The proprietary connector looks like a slightly squashed USB micro-B...

7-pin S type trailer plug (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
This is the S-type plug for reverse lights, fog lights and aux power, usually on caravans, not the normal N-type for most trailers.

Bluetooth Keyboard, Apple layout (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
Miniature keyboard aimed at iOS devices, bought from Maplin. It needs a USB mini B cable to charge (with the switch in the ‘ON’ position). It does have my name etched into the back, sorry about that! 🤣

Oud Attar — Leather Elixir (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
Doesn’t quite hit the spot for us, but it’s full minus two squirts so it’d be a shame to just discard it!! It definitely smells “leathery”, as the name suggests.

Car stereo wiring adapter harness — probably for Volvo (Handsworth S13)

Hat, Baker Boy style (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
I bought this hat last winter and it’s too big for my noggin’! Wore it once, and then shoved it away and forgot about it :D — It’s sized ‘M’ and as guide my head is size 56 and it’s way too loose…

iRig MIDI adapter for iOS devices (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
This is for connecting a MIDI device with full-size DIN connections to an iOS device. I used to use this with Garageband, without the iRig s/ware and there was no detectable latency 👍🏻

SatNav, no longer upgradeable (Handsworth S13)
Expired
I have a TomTom 135 Via which is no longer updateable; I bought it with "lifetime map updates" in 2010 so evidently TomTom mean a dog's lifetime! It comes with a traffic cable which picks up RDS data from FM radio. All polite enquiries considered :)

DeLonghi Coffee Maker (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
This coffee maker is now surplus. It uses ground coffee (Lavazza Rosso is my recommendation) and makes coffee on a par with a Mokka pot. It has a venturi steam wand for producing lovely foamy cappuccini! It has been used regularly (and cleaned) so it’s good to go 👍🏻 Note it’s not espresso and it’s not a pod machine! Collect from Flockton area evenings/weekends or near the Advanced Manufacturing Park during the day.

Wired house alarm (Handsworth S13)
Gifted
Wired burglar alarm with keypad, external bell box, PIR sensor, 2x door contacts, user manual and a roll of alarm cable. I’ve obtained and printed the technical manual too. Will need installing by someone competent. Has been in a dusty garage so it needs a clean — apologies!
