Pontus and some other members tidied up in our electronics corner yesterday. Just look how much usable space there is now! We never had so few boxes standing around in our L-room! <3

The picture shows Update's electronics corner. On the left side there is a small table with soldering and lab equipment. Next to the table, a few boxes are stacked with a 3D printer looking out of the top one. On the right wall there are wooden component drawers. On the wall behind the lab table there are blankets covering the windows. Amazingly, barely anything is lying around on the floor and only four boxes are visible in the picture.

These chunky toggle switches are nice - they can have upto 4 sets of contacts, each of which seem to have a bunch of poles each. These are momentary but there are some latching. Given the 'under license from Ericsson' label I assume they came off some comms kit originally. Now, I've just got to figure out how to mount them to something other than a panel.

A pair of old toggle switches sitting on a table. They've got a metal frame and then sets of (exposed) leaf switch contacts that are pressed or released by the tilt of the central column that moves based on the toggle at the front. They have bits of wire soldered on where they were once used. One is marked 'Made By Telephone Mfg Co. Ltd under license from Ericsson Teles Ltd. Pat No 838348'.The other is marked K. Pat No 838348, N9321 MATK' One has a pleasing blue toggle, the other a pleasin…

RGB cable - right? Red, Grey and Blue...
(And yes, they do go to the Red, Green and Blue pins)
#electronics

Three coax cables within a VGA cable, there's a red one, a blue one, and a *grey* one - hmm. There's also a few signal cables and a nice thick outer braid. In the background is the normal random crap on my bench.
