Facilities, hardware and stock built up over two decades - and how to get hold of any of it.
Students and staff at WEL have developed several resources over the years. The identity of WEL has evolved from being solely a lab for curricular courses when it started operations in 2001, into a hub for electronics activity with state-of-the-art facilities for projects and product development over two decades.
Thermal and climate chambers, 3D printers and scanner, laser cutter, milling machine, lathe, coil winder and ESD workstations.
PicoIRIS, PT-51, Xen-10, the IQ Modulator and QMagPi — designed, built and supported in-house.
Signal generators, oscilloscopes and displays, analyzers, multimeters, power and high-voltage equipment.
Passives, discretes, analog and digital ICs, microcontrollers, memory, sensors, motors and displays, plus datasheets.
The searchable component stock portal: browse, add to a request cart and submit as a project team.
Special facilities, development boards and modules, and equipment loans.
Hardware required for laboratory courses at WEL is primarily designed and manufactured in-house. This tradition has been in place for more than 10 years. Notable examples include Krypton (Intel MAX V CPLD), Xen-10 (MAX 10 CPLD), PT-51 (Microchip AT89C5131), the IQ modulator board and PicoIRIS, an all-in-one lab-on-board under development.
