When I retired I had an office full of electronics 'stuff' gathered over35 years of lecturing. Some of it, being 35 years old wasn't that much use to anyone. But other stuff, such as PIC ICD1's and 2's, hundreds of PIC based boards, MBed based stuff, 8086 emulators, oscilloscopes, electronic compasses and loads of similar stuff just went straight into the bin. I managed to offload some of the WiFi bits and pieces to another lecturer but nobody wanted the rest. The technicians said just chuck in the bin as they no longer carried stores of anything. I managed to fill a whole 6 cubic yard WEEE skip all by myself by the time I had emptied my office. Nobody wanted my technical books either so all 300 - 400 of them went into the bin. There was just nobody who wanted it. Everything is on the internet so books were of no value, the electronics was so cheap that if anyone wanted something they just bought new.

Still, I did walk with a lighter step once it was all gone and my office was empty - that was my work life ended. I have no regrets. Now, if I'm not using anything it goes straight into the bin - why wait 10 years for a clear-out. If someone else can use it why not let them have it. Good on you Shabaz.

This collection sounds like you could use it for a project or experiment for the Nephews!!

Make sure you give the LoRa boards in at least pairs Shabaz otherwise they will not be able to talk to anything ...At least in terms of during testing of their project!

Looks like the early birds have bagged the LoRaWorms... [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-c8c7096c-e6ab-4547-9e25-827dfe8b274f/4118.contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]

Hey Shabaz, I am interested to the LoRa gateway, if you save one. Anyway, great your choice [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-c8c7096c-e6ab-4547-9e25-827dfe8b274f/contentimage_5F00_2516.png:16:16]

Great to see that you're recycling useful stuff. My wife's sewing guild group does that at their monthly meetings - they bring in extra patterns and material for anyone to take. She would really like to get me to recycle things [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-c8c7096c-e6ab-4547-9e25-827dfe8b274f/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16].

If you’re open to ship to Belgium, I’d like to try the LoRa radios. I’d paypal the shipping fee.
