Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

  CircuitGizmos said  If I sent it to the UK, it would have to be under a couple of pounds. 225 gram is about $15. I'd seed that in one direction only.


No I don't think that is sensible, I was hoping one of old lags based in the UK might volunteer to seed an independent box.

Best wishes,

  lizby said  If the waterproof sensor has 3 wires, it's probably a DS18B20 ...


It's 3 wire and Lewis also identified it as DS18B20, I have labeled it as such and added it to my stores.

  Mixtel90 said  If the capacitor by the bridge rec on the drawing is 25v rating ...


Spot on, the provided capacitor is 2200uF, 25V. We have young children and thin walls, I don't think we need electronic aid to annoy the neighbours

Would anyone care to identify these - are they also temperature sensor related?



Best wishes,

There are also a handful of little aluminium can SMD capacitors labelled
   L0
   10
   25V

Would I be correct in believing them to be 10 uF, I looked online but there doesn't seem to be a standardised order for the markings. Is the L0 a model number or manufacturer code of some sort ?

Best wishes,

The leads are pre-made ones to fit some female connector or other. Sorry, I don't know which but I have a feeling they may be Molex.

The capacitors - I don't recognise the LO marking, but I agree with your guess. :)

Hi Peter,

The PMS5003 is yours, you will probably need a new PicoBlade connector as the one it came with has been "butchered". If you are still interested then please drop me a PM with your snail-mail address.

Everyone else,

After some soul searching and getting Lewis' blessing I've decided rather than horde these components on the off-chance I might decide to build a weather-station someday I'll offer them to anyone who might be able to make use of them in the near future (i.e. hopefully not for someone else to horde ).

UK only I'm afraid, no charge, but a donation to Stockport & District Mind would be welcome once you've tested the parts work https://www.stockportmind.org.uk/donate/ - please post your interest in this thread before PMing me.



These are RGBW LED strip connectors:


Also available:

- the waterproof temperature sensor pictured earlier
- the RF filter pictured earlier
- 4 of x27 168 stepper motors
- a dozen or more DS18B20 temperature sensors - just the basic 3 pin package
- LED bulbs pictured earlier: 4 large, 2 medium, 2 small

Best wishes,

Tom

Those are genuine ones got from RS in case anyone is wondering :)

Thank you very much, both Tom and Lew. I think a donation to Mind is a brilliant idea. :)

This RemotePi Board for Pi 3 (External IR and LED) is also available - I'm not sure the IR controller goes with this specifically but am throwing it in anyway since it is extraneous to my requirements:
