Workshop in a suitcase

Twittern

WRO Art Center and Goethe Institute Krakow invite me for one month to Wroclaw, in order to make a free project, there.
The trip starts tomorrow. I have no clue what I’ll produce, so I packed the 42 essentials of my workshop into a suitcase. It’s a little bit of everything:

1. working gloves
2. sturdy red rope
3. switching power supply +12V/+5DC/-5V
4. various IC’s (microcontrollers, 555 timers, opamps, darlington driver arrays, …)
5. cutting mat
6. loooooooooong measuring tape (50m)
7. RC servo, proto boards, LCD display (2×40)
8. little boxes with many little electronic components (resistors, capacitors, switches, transistors, sensors, photostuff, usb to TTL serial board, …)
9. measuring tools
10. swiss army knife
11. pens and other drawing gear, cutters and blades
12. little vise
13. saws
14. pocket calculator
15. flat wrenches
16. camera
17. hand tools (files, pincers, screwdriver)
18. thread cutters
19. tweezers
20. springs
21. more tools (shitty small dremel style no-name drilling machine, cutting discs, gas soldering iron, screwdrivers, nippers, screwdrivers)
22. funny blue masking tape, desolder pump above
23. brass tubes, welding rods
24. re-usable heavy duty tie wraps
25. even more tapes (double sided, gaffa) … and a little white netbook power supply below
26. glasses
27. laboratory power supply
28. multimeter
29. a bunch of rubber gloves
30. safety goggles
31. ratchet belt
32. ear protection with built in FM radio
33. tie wraps
34. crocodile cables
35. a plastic jar of rubber bands
36. soldering stand
37. cheap slow netbook
38. pocket oscilloscope (never understood how to use it – maybe I’ll have to find out in Poland)
39. from left to right: soldering iron, AVR-ISP programmer, external 500GB harddisk, leatherman – and a gas torch above
40. drill bit set, solder and wires on its left, hammer and glues on its right
41. little good audio recorder, cheap headphones
42. memory card

I also asked the WRO Art Center to provide me with

• a cordless power drill,
• an electric jigsaw,
• plenty of multiplugs,
• a stereo,
• a table,
• good working light,
• and a sofa.

The latter items aren’t depicted here, as I’ll be confronted with them not before tomorrow afternoon.

In the packed suitcase was even space left, which I filled with some more wires and tie wraps and sheets of PVC, ball bearings, …
Including the suitcase it’s alltogether 34 kilos of densely packed fun stuff for Wroclaw!
