| Type K Thermometer | A thermocouple for measuring temperatures between -50C and 1300C. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Flux Brush | For soldering. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Solder Tips | Replacement tips for soldering irons. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Logic Analyzer | Used to monitor and debug various digital signals and communication busses. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Digital Tachometer | This is an instrument that is used to measure revolutions per minute or RPM. This is a non contact device that uses light and a reflector. This device can be used to measure the RPM of a motor shaft. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Wire Strippers | For stripping wire. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Multimeter | A multimeter is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, in which case can be used as a voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter. Some feature the measurement of additional properties such as temperature and capacitance. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Flux Pen | For soldering. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Soldering Iron | A hand tool which heats metal solder in order to join two components. Soldering is most commonly used to join electrical components in a circuit. There are two soldering kits for use at the electronics station in the center of the Maker Hub, and there are also several available for checkout in the Tool Room. For your safety, please always place the soldering iron in its holder when not in use. Always use a fume extractor to protect yourself from harmful fumes. Soldering kits also come with a tackle box containing useful tools for soldering, such as wire crimpers. Please make sure all contents of this box are returned when you finish using a soldering kit. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Webcams | A video camera which is designed to record or stream to a computer or computer network. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Helping Hands | An extra set of hands to hold things while soldering. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Heat Sink Clip | Heat sink clip for soldering. |  | Electronic Devices |
| A.C. Clampmeter | This instrument can be clamped over a wire to measure the current flowing through it. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Arduino Uno | Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board based on the Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller. It is a Single circuit board that can be programmed and comprises of 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Fume Extractor | A device which uses a fan to collect and filter harmful fumes. Always use one of these when soldering for your protection. |  | Electronic Devices |
| Flux | For soldering. |  | Electronic Devices |
