CD drive scavenging for parts Old CD drives are a decent source for parts to make things from. Since the computer industry has encouraged manufacturing churn for so many decades, it is pretty easy to find at least a few surplus drives to dissect. Inside these dusty relics, you will be lucky to find DC motors, switches, gears, springs and more. You can get drives from old computers, which always seem to be at the dump, on the sidewalk of some neighborhoods, out on the loading dock of the school, in basements and garages, etc. Teach your family to solder! Supplies: Old computer CD drives (older ones often have better parts) Plastic bags for storing parts (zippered half size sandwich bags are great) Small cardboard boxes for storing the larger metal and plastic partsBattery holder Tape Paper and pen Digital camera Paper clip Tools: Safety glasses Small phillips head screwdriver Straight screwdriver Jeweler’s screwdrivers Pliers, needle nose or channel lock Utility knife Soldering iron Wire cutters/strippers More: Related
#socialbib - Netzwerk Bibliothek #socialBib – Die Bibliothek der Zukunft ist vernetzt. Machen Sie jetzt mit! Die Bibliothek der Zukunft ist nicht in Stein gemeißelt.Dabei spielt der digitale Wandel eine genau so große Rolle, wie die Notwendigkeit einer dynamischen Wissensgesellschaft.Die Bibliotheken müssen ein Teil dieses steten Veränderungsprozesses sein und diesen aktiv mitgestalten, um sich nicht abhängen zu lassen und ihre Relevanz für die Gesellschaft zu bestätigen. Wir glauben, dass dieser Veränderungsprozess besonders durch einen vitalen Austausch der Bibliotheken untereinander und mit den Bürgern sowie durch inspirierende Akzente besonders gut gelingt. Deshalb rufen wir die Bibliotheken in Deutschland auf sich zu vernetzen und neue Wege der Kommunikation auszuprobieren. Da dies besonders gut mit sozialen Medien möglich ist, sollen diese im Fokus der Aktivitäten stehen.
About We are a community of makers, artists, designers, and builders focused on simplifying the world of electronics DIY by modularizing information. Instead of showcasing users’ projects, we offer bite-size, easy-to-follow articles that help you hit the ground running. We understand that, for many, the idea is more important than the method of accomplishing it. Our hope is that by offering working code and wiring examples for almost anything you would want to make, we can create building blocks that will enable people to stop searching for help, and start getting their idea made. What’s all this talk about Modularized Information? It’s pretty simple. Imagine buying an entire car just because you needed a single part.

The simple goal of bildr At the end of the day, this is what we hope to accomplish.
