Latest Updates from Dan Green.

ECE MakerSpace Users,

I wanted to make everyone aware of a few new updates to the MakerSpace.

New Lockers

We've added new lockers outside in the hallway for any users who'd like to store their bookbags before entering the MakerSpace or store their projects in between classes. Each of the lockers can be locked with a code you choose. Please note that these are not intended to be long term storage.

1004 EB2 Now 24/7

Beginning next week, we'll be updating the hours for the fabrication shop (1004 EB2) to allow for 24/7 access by our users. We'll be updating our signage and website as well.

Regular hours are still 8am-5pm on Monday through Friday.

Outside of these hours, we will still require the buddy system, and we'll be keeping the mill and the bandsaw locked for safety. But we will extend the evening hours to 24hrs as well as all weekend.

In case of an emergency, we have installed phones by the door in both rooms.

Equipment Upgrades

We've increased our 3D printers to three, and doubled our Othermill PCB makers. New Makita cordless power tools and a larger Baileigh lathe have been placed in 1004 EB2.

All new state of the art instrumentation has replaced the older ones we started the MakerSpace with last year:

    • PA2201A IntegraVision Power Analyzer, 2 Channels, 1-Phase AC

    • 2x Keysight E36313A DC Power Supply, triple-output, 6V, 10A and 2x 25V, 2A, 160W

    • 2x Keysight MSOX42024A Oscilloscope, 20CH, 200MHZ, 5GSPS

    • 2x Keysight 33622A Signal Generator, 120MHZ

    • Keysight 34470A Digital Multimeter, 7-1/2 DIGIT

    • Keithley 2260B-250-4 Power Supply, 1-CH, 250V, 4.5A

    • Keithley DMM7510 Digital Multimeter, 7-1/2 DIGIT

    • Keithley 2450 Source Meter, 200V, 1A, 20W

    • Tektronix TTR506A Vector Network Analyzer

    • Tektronix RSA607A Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

A new Keysight N9914A "FieldFox" Microwave Combination Analyzer (30KHZ to 6.5GHZ) can be checked out from Mr. Nguyen.

We also have a new handheld EinScan Pro 3D scanner that we're getting ready as well as a new Neoden Pick and Place machine and stencil solder printer which we hope to have up and running for the Fall semester.
