E&R Overview

Training and testing

Training and testing is REQUIRED before using this shop, especially with regard to soldering irons and oscilloscopes. If you're not sure if your experience is adequate, please contact the shop lead. Sign up here for tool training and testing.

Availability

This shop is available to members 24/7. We have 14 benches, however not all benches have all equipment. If there is a class running, please be cognizant of your own noise levels to try not to interfere with instruction.

Rules

• Please do not enter the 'Cabinet of Why We Can't Have Nice Things' without permission. This contains parts and consumables for fixing equipment such as oscilloscopes and multimeters.
• E&R is one of the few shops that has parts available for member projects. Please do not take all of a particular part; if you see the supply of something running low, let us know.

Usage tips

• Use containers or cardboard boxes to transport projects, and label that container or box.
• We have a parts index so you can easily find parts and equipment. See: https://wiki.artisansasylum.com/images/1/1f/ENR_Inventory.pdf It is a PDF on each computer in the shop, and on Printmonster, the printing station.

Etiquette

Please follow this shop etiquette so that we don't have to make more rules.

• Fill out in-progress project tags completely -- with your name, contact information, and space number. A name isn't always enough information for someone to track you down if your project seems abandoned.

Help us improve

E-mail the shop lead with your concerns, comments, questions, and suggestions for improvement. Let us know if the shop was left not ready-to-use, equipment is malfunctioning, a consumable is running low, if you want to help drive an improvement project, or if you can think of anything else that will make the shop a better resource for you!
