Updating organization at the Adabench for the New Year


Listen Later

This coming year, we wanted to update our storage and organization: with about 700 original designs, a couple dozen in progress, and thousands of items in the shop, it's hard to keep track of all the components and devboards we need to test various combinations. Historically, we've used double-sided totes (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1149), which are good, but the double-sidedness is a bit annoying, or the little divider boxes for small breakouts (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2938), and snap-top boxes for SMT components (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=modular+snap). But all these cases were sort of swimming around, and it was getting unwieldy. We're going to try to use the large IKEA ALEX drawers (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/alex-drawer-unit-on-casters-gray-turquoise-50483449/#content) - we like them cause they're wide and thin - and maybe use something like gridfinity (https://gridfinity.xyz/) to make a flat storage surface so we can quickly find any PCB or part we need.
