BenchoffIt's off. It's gone. It's in the mail. Somewhere between Pennsylvania and California is the travelling box of hacker crap.
A few changes: I needed to use the Large flat rate box. The Harbor Freight box was unexpectedly out of spec and didn't fit in the medium flat rate box. The official Box is now the large flat rate and costs $17.90 to ship to anywhere in the US. Sorry about that, but I think the inventory included in the box will make it up for anyone who has already signed up.
OH YEAH THE INVENTORY
Here's the list of hardware that is in the box right now. This doesn't include little bits of swag like stickers, pins, patches, and all those other goodies.
- 5 Cypress PSOC 5LP Prototyping kits
- STM32F3 Discovery
- STM32F0 Discovery
- Pulsesensor.com pulse sensor
- 5 SeeMeCNC screwdrivers
- CamdenBoss Raspberry Pi case
- LayerOne Demoscene Board
- Electric Imp
- Electric Imp Hannah
- Electric Imp April
- Evil Mad Scientist ATMegaxx8 target board
- Graphene Thermal Paste
- SparkFun ESP8266 Thing
- MAX5214 / MAX 5216 DAC dev board
- LoRA IoT sensor node demonstration board
- AMC1200DUBR IC Sample Pack
- BotThoughts ezee Prop
- Arduino Pro Mini
- ANT Bitcoin Miner
- 2 Fairchild 2716 ceramic EEPROMs, datecode 1980
- SolderPeek
- 2 BlinkyPendant
- Hackaday Adafruit Trinket Pro
- 2 ChipKit zUNO Clips
- Old HP 9-digit bubble display
- Sparkfun BLE Mate 2
- Seeed Skeleton Box
By my math, that's at least Six hundred dollars worth of crap, shoved in a Harbor Freight box, and sent to some stranger.
Let's say you're really, really interested in this project now. How do you get in? How do you get this box 'o crap delivered to your door? You can do that right here. Just fill out a form, and our magical algorithm will put you in the queue. There's a catch, though: the order of when it will get to you is completely random, and I've already planned out the first 25,000 miles. If it's not stolen, it'll get to you. It'll just take a while.

Awesome! I'm glad to hear its on it's way. And what a great starter bunch of swag. It will have changed when/if it gets to me, but if I was first Idk which one thing I would pick.
Are you sure? yes | no
Indeed, picking *just one* would be quite difficult... You did check the "I'm going to steal this box" checkbox, right?
Are you sure? yes | no
Na, I do wanna share some of my workbench with the community. Plus there's a weird sort of romanticism with this whole idea; I'm hoping if I remain altruistic it will increase the chances of everyone else being too and we can pass this box around for a while
