That's awesome, Joachim.
There is a tube full of Atmega328P chips.
That is the processor used on Ardiuno's. You can build projects with them and
program them using the Arduino IDE

Hello all,
I have been going through some of the electrical component inventory that we
have and sorting it(very soothing). I just want to give ya'll an idea of
some of the awesome stuff that's there for the using. It's a lot. Like HUGE
metric tons worth of stuff. So if you need parts for projects please take a
look through some of the draws and boxes of components or ask me where
something might be. That's what they are there for. For you to make your
projects awesome. All those components are getting pretty lonely sitting in
all those boxes. USE THEM PLEASE!!!
Here's some of the stuff I found today that might be useful to people:
555 timers like 100 of them and some 556 dual timer variety.
Voltage regulators all varieties, adjustable, 3.3v, 5v, 12v, etc,
Resistors, millions of resistors, MILLIONS I TELL YOU!! All brand spanking
new.
Capacitors, millions of those too. Under the shelf by to the right of the
soldering station there is a whole big box with jars full of ceramic caps in
them if the ones in the little draws are not enough.
Logic IC's, AND, OR, NOR, inverter, counters, latches, tons of that kinda
stuff if you like.
Lots of micro controller chips like PIC16C65 and tons of other variations
with many pins or just a few pins. I also saw a bunch of ATMEL ATMEGA
marked chips.
Vacuum tubes, you know, those things with nothing inside.
Transistors of all types and sizes and such. A fair amount of the old can
style if you want to make your project retro vintage steam punk style. Some
nice power MOSFETs too.
Diodes, including zener, rectifier, bridge rectifier, fast recovery, signal,
oh and lots of LEDs too.
Incandescent light bulbs, mostly small and low voltage. Some neon lamps and
indicators. Also a bunch of green neon lamps which are kinda cool and rare.
Tons of sockets, plugs, headers, pins, terminal strips, serial port plugs,
mitty, audio, and all kinds of stuff like that to make your own custom cords.
Copper clad boards. To the right of the solder station against the white
board there is a flat box with huge about 2 foot by 1 foot double sided
copper clad boards. Make awesome printed circuit boards!!
Relays, 5 volt, 12 volt, solid state, big ones, small ones, etc.
Switches, lot of switches. Toggle, push button, soft ones, tactile ones,
lighted ones.
Pots, no not drugs silly... potentiometers, multi turn, single turn, 10k,
20k, trimmer, etc.
Metal and plastic nuts, bolts, and lots of standoffs and hardware.
And lot of other cool stuff for YOUR projects.
PLEASE USE THE STUFF AT THE SHOP TO MAKE COOL PROJECTS!!! That's why it's
there.
To find the stuff you need you can either look through the little draws and
boxes hidenseek style or ask me and I should be able to tell you an
approximate place of where a specific component might be located.
Also more sorting and organizing needs to be done with all the electronics
stuff. I've been working on it but there is a lot of stuff so if anyone else
is interested in helping at the shop clean to organize I'm coming down in a
bit. That corner by the solder station really needs cleaned up more.
Thank you!
Best,
-Joachim
