How to patch into the circuitry of relatively cheap digital calipers to get data out of them.
Aretronics is the new company, started by ex-employees of All Electronics. Together we have decades of industry experience. We aim to provide the same fast, reliable service as we did at All Electronics, and stock even more, new, interesting and useful parts for your projects and needs. We offer hundreds of electronic and electro-mechanical parts and supplies at discount price.
The OpenFlexure project uses 3D printers and off the shelf components to build open-source, lab-grade microscopes for a fraction of traditional prices. Used in over 50 countries and every continent, the project aims to enable Microscopy for Everyone.
Once based primarily at the University of Bath and University of Cambridge, the project has spread. From the Antarctic ice to pathology labs in Rwanda, OpenFlexure Microscopes are transforming the role of microscopy in healthcare, education and in the field. Conversations, suggestions and issues are all hosted on our forum.
As an academic project, the core development team is now based at the University of Glasgow. We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from our funders, as well as our collaborations with groups including the Baylor College of Medicine, Bongo Tech & Research Labs, and Mboalab.

This site is dedicated to cataloging and sharing information on repairing devices. It's named "Caps" wiki because in older electronics capacitors are one of the more common causes of problems. But any repair information such as ICs, batteries, belts, 3D printer models, or more for devices of any age is welcome here!
The Internet Archive Manual Library is a collection of manuals, instructions, walkthroughs and datasheets for a massive spectrum of items. Manuals covering electronic and mechanical products, instructions on mixing or blending items, and instruction sets for software and computer items are all included.
Having the manual for an item can mean the difference between that item being useful (and therefore not immediately junked) and being forgotten, or replaced with similar products. They also give insight into the intentions and goals of the companies making these products, as well as avenues of troubleshooting and repair.

Open Ephys is a site that catalogues open source neuroscience hardware - EEGs, data acquisition boards, EMGs, and other bits of equipment that manufacturers historically never manufactured very well.
The Philharmonia Orchestra has released samples from several dozen instuments under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY-SA). Commercial works which use these samples are explicitly approved.
BeepBox is an online chiptune tracker. You can interactively edit patterns or enter single notes on a piano style keyboard. It makes it very easy to compose music - it manages scales, keys, tempo, and rhythm for you. It also has a waveform editor with which you can define new instruments. Download your work as .wav files. Seems to use Amiga .mod style patterns. You can also download the page to open later in a web browser or clone the sourcecode (https://github.com/johnnesky/beepbox) if you want to tinker with it or incorporate it into your own work.
