Types of resistors and capacitors

Well, you beat me too!!!


I see that you screwed these cabinets to the wall. That's probably the best way to do it. What is the bluetooth connection for?

Don't you hate typing a long reply on a cell phone and your finger grazes the BACK button? ARRGH!

I need it to upload a scanned barcode nunber from my android cell phone to an Access database on my laptop.

I have 3 in the kitchen right now that I use for designing my database. I came REAL close to knocking one over today. That wouldn't have been funny, well, except for the cat that would have taken a romp through the debris.

I couldn't imagine leaving them unattached. That is basically asking for a catastrophy, even more so now with SMD components. I try to keep them in tape segments, but the sample ICs from manufactures come on anti-static pads in plastic boxes. Of course these boxes don't fit in these drawers so I have to put them in anti-static bags for now.

I did find the anti-static pads at Jameco:

If I remember, they were cheaper there than eBay, or anywhere else I found. If someone has a better source, I'd love to hear about it. I'm going to need several sheets of this stuff to line the drawers for ICs.

And I can even use them in layers to sandwich the SMD ICs, essentially making lids. Hopefully enough to slow them down if I drop the drawer or flip it over on my workbench.
