''Add new entries to the top of the list!''

January 2018 - [[User:Tom|Tom Iddings (lols)]] 
Borrowed Power Mac G5 to conduct repairs on.

8 December 2017 - [[User:tom|tom]] 
I've borrowed the dolly and the heatgun, need to return them both.

Borrowed a LCD screen for use as additional monitor.

30 August 2017 - [[User:mirage335|mirage335]] 
Biosignal amplifier was returned a long time ago, hopefully it will be treated well. Non-flyable quadcopter, legos, high-power audio amps were also returned long ago, though the seem not to be in the space at present. Also, have been borrowing stick welder, both in hopes of testing it, and to keep it out of the way of basement cleanup projects. Need for high-current 240V service has held up that project.

27 September 2016 - [[User:ewaldo|Ethan Waldo]] 
USRP1 for Spaceblimp communications experimentation

1 July 2016 - [[User:Tom|Tom Iddings]] 
Borrowed a Dell D620 to put GNU/Hurd on it because it seemed like a good use for it. Maybe we can use it for an experimental OS development project?

17 May 2016 - [[User:ewaldo|Ethan Waldo]] 
Borrowed Altera DE2-115 to assist in further developing [[:Category:OpticalTableRobot|OpticalTableRobot]]

10 February 2016 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Borrowed T43 laptop used to drive pen plotter and remaining biosignal amplifier development components.

14 October 2015 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Borrowed miniVNA and extender to calibrate and optimally point a moderately-directional wideband antenna. EDIT: Returned a long time ago.

16 September 2015 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Temporarily storing a bunch of stuff from HacDC, to relieve some of the temporary storage pressure during the move. Most prominently,our biosignal amplifier, a bunch of high-power audio amps, a couple non-flyable quadcopters, a RC hovercraft toy, a telescope, some more legos, some toy night-vision goggles, the NI myDAQ/myDSP, and some IP cams. Will return upon request, hopefully sooner. Hopefully most of this stuff (ie. biosignal amplifier audio amps, IP cams, myDAQ/myDSP, etc) will be immediately integrated into the new classroom soon after the move. EDIT: NI myDAQ/myDSP returned along time ago. Returned the telescope, night-vision goggles, and IP cams.

11 June 2015 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Returned label printer, which is not useful without a special adapter cable among other things. Borrowed a bag of legos and empty microscope head for optical prototyping and photolithography experiments. Most Legos will probably be returning after replacement by 3D printed parts. Will return upon request.

27 March 2015 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Long-term borrowed amphibious RC car, power-line monitor, and label printer. Will return upon request.

17 March 2015 - [[User:Wa1ivd|wa1ivd]] 
Borrow Tektronix 2212 ser. H701215 from basement for Ultimate3S project, will return if needed.

10 March 2015 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Returned remaining screwdrivers and such. Borrowed an average oscilloscope, and low-end function generator long term, will return upon request or when tolerance for their existance at the space improves (eg. for a class event). Also borrowed one of the several wire-wrapping tools recent discovered.

3 March 2014 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
USRP, related radio gear (some of which was built by me), wire, low-quality soldering iron, 2.4GHz R/C transmitter/receiver pair. Attempting to set up ham radio antenna at new QTH. Additionally, going to try repairing a model R/C plane with the R/C transmitter/receiver pair. Will return unused radio gear and supplies to HacDC when done, and donate for anything used. EDIT: Have returned some of the supplies as of 3/28/2014. Still borrowing USRP and soldering iron. RC plane may be able to use R/C transmitter/receiver pair if given new servomotors. Also borrowed a pair of decent pilers and wire cutters. EDIT: Borrowed SMT tweezers as of 4/14/2014, since my own set may not be adequate for an urgent project. Also borrowed M3 screwdriver bit. EDIT: Also borrowed soldering iron tip, while waiting on RMA from two other tips. Will probably bring back with some of the other materials within a week or two, time-ultra-critical project still underway. EDIT: Have returned almost everything. Still occasionally borrowing a few screwdrivers and other non-critical items, as some of my own have failed.

30 December 2013 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Prusa Mendel, and associated hardware. Minor repairs in progress, ETA return Thursday, January 2, 2014. EDIT: Returned Saturday, January 4, 2014. Performance and reliability vastly improved.

April 4, 2013 - [[User:Nocko|nocko]] 
Diligent Spartan-3E Starter Board (Labeled HacDC #12). I want to see if the SUMP logic analyser HDL can be modified and installed on this board.

December 18, 2012 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Project Salvage components. Most should become valuable electronic test equipment at HacDC and absolutely must not be trashed. EDIT: Returned a while ago to the test cart. Connectorization of some parts (eg. mixers) still progressing.

July 21, 2012 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
Borrowing Ham radio gear this weekend, as described in the previous struck through entry. EDIT: Returned. Awesome data obtained.

June 29, 2012 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
<s>Borrowing Ham radio gear tomorrow. Specifically, IC-718 radio, antenna tuner, RF power meter, balun (if available), PSU, some feedline, some wire, and a measuring tape (if >12'). Will also borrow some of my own objects at the space, specifically a UPS (for its 12V battery) and a magnetic loop antenna. Leaving my name and number on the ham radio cart in case anyone needs the radio or has questions. This is exclusively for the purpose of diagnosing HacDC's ham radio issues as documented on the mailing list.</s> Postponed due to severe weather and power disruption. Radio not borrowed yet.

May 30, 2012 - [[User:Mirage335|mirage335]] 
- Ancient (20 years+) semi-working AM/FM/WB/CB radio.
Found in basement. AM function never worked, in sorry shape, needs repair, so I'm going to try repairing it as far as possible. Will be back at the space in ~2 weeks. EDIT: Returned. After mostly mechanical repairs, AM, FM, CB functions work well.

April 2012 - [[User:Tslagle]]

- Infrared night vision goggles 
'cause, you know, all the cool kids were doing it. 
I discovered that the unit I borrowed is flaky - after a few seconds of wearing it while powered up the display flickers and goes dead. I think that the cable leading from the power pack to the visor has a bad connection. When I get time I'll tear this one down and see if I can repair it.

* '''Ham Radio''' ([[HAMRADIO]]): HacDC maintains a heavily used amateur radio station, W3HAC, administered by the HacDC Amateur Radio Club (HARC). There are various transceivers at HacDC and antennae on the roof of St. Stephen's, as well as a repeater station now online. HARC hosts guest speakers, participates in contests and holds study sessions and administers FCC amateur radio licensing exams.

* '''3D Printing''' ([[3D Printing]]): HacDC has a LulzBot Mini and a significantly modified LulzBot Taz regularly up and running; they are run off a 3D print server and instructions for logging in and printing remotely are posted by the printers. We also have a handful of other 3D printers in various states of repair and upgrade including a RockStock Max or two and a RepRap and others. These are demonstrated, used, repaired and upgraded during 3D Thursdays.

* '''Optical Table Robot''' ([[PA_OTR]]): OTR includes work to build the large-format multi-tool on the basement optical table (3D printer, 40-100W laser cutter, pick-n-place, router) as well as work to purchase and upgrade a smaller laser cutter tool for classroom use. Current (2016) efforts are focused on designing and assembling the upgrades to the smaller classroom cutter (40W) which will be used for training before moving onto the high-power machine. Work overlaps with Microcontroller Mondays and 3D Thursdays.

* '''Spaceblimp''' ([[HacDC Spaceblimp]]): HacDC has launched, tracked (with GPS and radios) and recovered six stratospheric balloons, regularly reaching 100,000ft and collecting various data including beautiful pictures of our lovely blue planet. We expect to participate in the Global Space Balloon Challenge in 2017 once the jet stream gets back into its Spring position.

* '''CRISPR''' ([[DC CRISPR Initiative at HacDC]]): CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary new gene-editing technique. Project CRISPR will (2017) edit the genome of E.Coli to add some antibiotic resistance using the Open Discovery Institute's DIY Bacterial CRISPR Kit. Materials are on-hand and event planning for the first event is underway. Project CRISPR will explore HacDC's interest in microbiology in general.

* '''Electron Microscope''' ([[PA_SEM]]): Project SEM is the ongoing restoration of a scanning electron microscope at HacDC.

* '''Expansion''' ([[PA_EXPANSION]]): Buy and/or build tools and equipment, with focus on rapid expansion of HacDC capabilities. Expansion categories include without exception, manufacturing, electronics, optics, particle physics, semiconductor fabrication, and biohacking.

* '''Supplies''' ([[PA_SUPPLIES]]): Repair equipment. Maintain consumables, office supplies, spare parts, and other items routinely needed or sold at HacDC.

* '''CONDUIT Innovations''': Prototyping & PCB development for Off-Ear Headphones https://vimeo.com/conduitsports

* [[Stuff]]: HacDC has lots of stuff. More stuff is always coming in. HacDC has a limited amount of space. Some stuff has to go out.

* [[Wanted Workshops]]: A means for the community to express its needs and desires.
