Question of the Month: How do you Organise Your Components? (or don't you?)

cstanton

You're working on a project, maybe at work? Maybe at home. You have your workbench and that might be tidy (we asked about that before... and I'm sure we will again).

But I have all of these resistors! What do I do..

    90% of compoenents have moved from drawers to bins ..and the farnell packets in those bins, sorted not by partnumber  but Purpose. and the shelves are sectioned in "type of thing". So A Dip pushbutton i would find in the left shelf (as its a mechanical thingy) amongst the bins of buttons and switches in a labeled bin.
    And a 74HC595 shift register would go in the right shelf amongst the logic chip section in roughly the middle of the shelf in  a bin "shift registers".
    its pretty much Peter Ludolfs Haufenprinzip (the heap principle - by Peter Ludolf of a german reality TV show on a scrapyard) but for electronics.
