Sorry for the quality of the pictures and glare, I did my best to try and control my excitement and go slow but my self control is not that great. Lots of stuff in the box and it's holding up ok. At this point the tape and labels are starting to add structural integrity to the box.

Here is the box as it appeared at my house.

Opened revealing all of it's secrets!

Top layer unpacked, stickers, 3d filament, iteaduino and various IC's

closeup of iteaduino in packaging

trying to get closeup of some of the labels, not sure if they are what they say they are as I wasn't in the search of any IC's so I didn't pull them out to verify.

another closeup

next layer down, more IC's, some electrical tape, and a few USB VA testers from friedcircuits.us. The IC's were in nice little plastic cases, I'm sure some room could be saved by combining these but at this point room isn't an issue so I kept them as they were.

Another Layer down:

Panasonic LCD, motor, verizon mifi, vintage transistors some beaglebone capes, USB FTDI cables, some audio equipment, zune player, parkflyer reciever, TI Launchpad, PIC programmer and some things I don't know.

I have no idea what this thing is but it looks like it busted.

A Leap VR motion controller, fitbit, TP-Link travel router, and two boxes that I will unpack in the next couple of pictures.

smaller cardboard box

unpacked, a couple of LCDs, motors, IC, through hole led kit?, some small completed circuit boards, I think the thing with the black plastic housing has an IR led in it like for a remote control but I am not sure.

back of the LUMINARYMICRO LCD

Inside the toolbox some cool printed circuit boards from WeisTek Engineering, a leaflabs maple, some clock oscillators

Cypress PSoC 4 Prototyping Kit

rest of the stuff from the bottom of the toolbox, capacitors, heat shrink, some more IC's circuit boards, matrix display, dip switches, motors, seven segments, stuff and a lone green led that's begging to be the eye on someones robot, one IC was off the foam and the pins are trashed, I couldn't get it back on the foam either so it's still rattling around in there. Pins on the back of 7x5 matrix display was bent as well but I think its salvageable


What I Took!

-Stickers

-USB VA Tester

-TP-Link router

-weird display that looks like it may have come out of some phone or network device

-7x5 LED matrix

-WeisTeks Numitron

What I put in

-EL Tape (Red and Blue)

- El Wire White (courtesy of my local Radio Shack going out of business sale)

- 2 x Parallex RFID readers and a rfid card

- an old programmer that I acquired and could never find documentation on

- Stickers

- throwing star Lan tap PCB

- Joe Fitz's Simple Power Analysis Tool PCB

I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this and hope it continues to make it's way across the US and eventually overseas. I'll be shipping this out tomorrow, down the West Coast to Santa Clara, CA!

Someone put a leap motion in the box? That is awesome!

Hey, I recognize the black ENIG PCB in there... That's one of the GPDSO boards I gave out at the 2015 Hackaday conference.

I'll be putting a couple more of those in the box... only they'll have all of the components attached!

awsome update!. That programmer is a Willem eeprom programmer. I have been eyeing one of those for a while.

I'm interested to see what you do with the numitron. I wish I could have put more in there but my stock was running really low. Also that tiny pcb on the Verizon box is a 10 pin to 6 pin ICSP adapter board for the usb isp's

Cheers.

What an amazing collection of stuff. Looks like my collection of random extra bits * 20, which  suppose is exactly what it is!
