===== Resources at the IDC ===== | ===== Resources at the IDC ===== | ||
+ | At the IDC, you can find a plethora of equipment to assist you with your projects. Along with spare wood to help you downstairs, and a seemingly endless supply of 3D print materials, our electrical equipment lying behind the front desk can be found here at this. The hive is looking to create a comprehensive inventory list soon. At any time, you can come into the space and ask a PI at the front desk. If we don't have a specific component, be sure to try Senior Design on the third floor of Van Leer. | ||

- | - Function of the front desk: place to ask questions, find help, get information, | + | |
- | - Resources available at the front desk: describe what is available (eventually this can just link to the public inventory), rules on checking things out or keeping things, as well as resources related | + | You can also check out equipment (for free!) at the front desk, including Raspberry Pis, motors, breakout boards, solder practice kits, USB cables, and several types of Arduinos in exchange for your buzzcard in the space. We no longer check out inventory outside the space. Other supplies, including circuit components, electrical wire, and solder, can be found near the workstations. |
- | - Where to actually find the front desk, and that it is where you check in to workshops. | + | |
- | - That you need to log into SUMS and how to actually do that. (No, it's not an actual test.) | + | |
- | - This would also be a good place for a lot of other miscellaneous operations notes. Direct people to one place. | + | |
+ | There are also lockers available for checkout at the front desk. If you have a big project, or don't want to carry a project back home each day then you may want to consider getting a locker. A PI at the front desk can get you a locker and a combination lock for it. If you forget your combination, | ||

Printing at the hive is free, and is located in the Semi clean room. You can walk down and find a PI if you have something you would like to print. We only accept STL files and no gcode files since the PI's need to check each print. The printing system works by queue, and each printer may have a different queue. If you're not sure which printer you want to use, ask a PI! In addition to |
