Free: 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…

Free: 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.

Free: 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.

1y

Free: Slime kit — STEM activity (Handsworth S13) Expired A slime kit from SEP; Science Enhancement Programme. Instructions included.

1y

Free: 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 👍🏻

Free: 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. 👍🏻

Free: 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!

Free: 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.

1y

Free: 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...

Free: 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.

Free: 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! 🤣

Free: 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.
