It's Christmas!

When i told my little brother's boss that i was starting to make robots, he answered me "well, i used to do a lot of electronics when i was younger, i may have some stuff that could be useful to you", and i was like cool, i'm gonna have a bunch of resistors... And that's what he gave me :

So that's big bunch of stuf, i have even no idea about what half of those stuff are for, but i'm sure i'll figure out soon enough ^^

Those stepper motors look pretty cool :

even if i don't know how to use them, and can't find any datasheet.

I also have that "mercury-switch" :

25 of those LM324N :

it seems that they are "Low Power Quad Operational Amplifier", whatever it means...

I also have a dozen of those things :

but i don't have the slightest idea about what it is.

Add to that gears, bumper switches and switches of all sorts, leds and plenty of other cool stuff!

 

So i was already quite happy, but cherry on the chicken, i also received my SRF05 that i ordered last monday from Active Robots (very fast shipping!):

 

So robotically speaking, that was a pretty cool day! :D

 

I’d say you hit a nice

I’d say you hit a nice jackpot with all of that stuff…nice aquisition!!

 

heat sinks

These are cooling fins. You bolt them onto components with a hole in them. Components that would otherwise get too hot. These are the thingeys that help to keep the magic smoke inside.

Also: check the thread about sun screen.

 

Thanks for the tip mate,

Thanks for the tip mate, i’ll try!
