Okay so i decided to go ahead and show my crazy but useful and actually unorganized organization skills 🙂 Here is how everything looks untouched. (when i say everything, i mean the parts i sell or use to make PCBs to sell, no where near EVERYTHING)
Lets get into this now. All blue/clear bins except 3 are 6 3/8″ x 5″ x 2 3/4″. Small when you think about it but what they hold will amaze you. Â Larger Blue/Clear bins are about the same Height/Width but double the length.
Inside the bins are a wealth of parts. Ill show a image and name it. I wont name each part because this isn’t inventory just a glimpse of my world.
IC’s 2 – Most of the ICs i do NOT use. Fun stuff none-the-less. 
Wire Connectors – Everything i use for creating custom wiring to test/build/program
Inductors – Just that 🙂
Capacitors 2 = Barely used and mostly Aluminum SMT caps.
Switches and Buttons – SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES FROM SMT TO PTH
IC’s – Used Regularly  (Charge IC, USB2UART IC etc)
Capacitors –Â All regularly used caps 100nf , 1uf, 10nf, 20pf etc
MCUs – so many, ARM, AVR, CPLD, FPGA, PIC, SOC etc…
LEDs – Normal indication to IR transmitters and receivers.
Diodes – just about every kind
Oscillators and Resonators – Â from 32khz to 48MHz
OSH PCBs – Just about all the stuff i sell… minus some new pcbs 🙂
PCBs are all unsoldered. Using this system allows me to cancel out a PCB and not have wasted parts. Saves me tons of money and having to order parts a lot.
Resistors – just about any value here… (Not really but close enough lol)
Wifi and RF – NRF24L01 to ESP8266
Connectors – From Battery (lipo/coin) to USB & Probe connectors (A LOT)
Headers – Female and Male Single In Line style (more coming this week)
Headers – Right Angle Single in Line, Double row male/female , small pitch etc…
Unused header bits.. all types!
As you can see i have a ton of parts to sift through and surprisingly this is a organized system and i can find any part in a matter of seconds.
I would love to hear your thoughts on how i have this set up and any questions you may have :
I wish i had enough free time to empty bins and draws to show all the sweet stuff but the day has only 24 hours 🙂 Thanks!
