 ====== Electronics Lab ======
-===== DC Power Supplies =====
+The electronics lab is captained by Stan Okrasinski
-  * Extech 382213
+Discord: @sokrasins
-===== Oscilloscopes =====
+Email: stan@makeroanoke.org
-  * Rigol DS1102E
+==== General Lab Safety ====
-  * LeCroy 9345M
+  - Members must have completed MAKE Roanoke's new member orientation before using the electronics lab.
+  - No food or drinks are permitted in the 3D printing, laser, or electronics labs.
+  - Don't throw batteries away in the maker space
+  - Much of the equipment in electronics is considered a "yellow" tool, meaning shop orientation and safety training must be completed prior to use. The equipment is labeled to indicate it's level. If a tool is unlabled, it is considered green.
+If you'd like to review the orientation material, see the [[elec_orientation_guide|electronics orientation guide]]
+==== Equipment ====
+The Electronics shop offers equipment in three main categories:
+  - Soldering tools
+  - Test and measure equipment
+  - Components and project materials
+=== Soldering ===
+All soldering tools are yellow tools: electronics shop training is required before soldering tool use is permitted. Remember to follow these rules while using any of the soldering tools:
+  - Use any available fume extraction. This is important both to protect yourself and to reduce the risk for other members.
+  - You must either wear gloves or wash your hands when you’re finished soldering
+  - Don’t leave the soldering tools on if you leave the area
+  - The tool should not be laid on the table when not in use. It should only either be in your hand or in the appropriate stand.
+  - For soldering irons specifically: leave some solder on the tip of the iron when you’re done

+Safety Considerations:
+When using an oscilloscope, ground on the probe must ONLY ever be connected to ground in your circuit. Failing to follow this rule will damage both the oscilloscope and the device you are testing.
