BME 51A W2021 parts and tools

BME 51A will be an at-home lab with Zoom lab sessions, so we need to include more parts and tools in the kit than usual, but we can omit the carrying case.  For those students who want to buy their own carrying case, the one we have used for the past couple of years is https://www.harborfreight.com/19-bin-portable-parts-storage-case-93928.html. Because there are only 2 weeks between the end of Fall quarter and the beginning of Winter quarter, the kits have been broken up into two shipments: one to arrive before the first day of class (Jan 4), the other to arrive during the 3rd week of class.

pressure sensors on breakout boards

We did not have enough of the pressure sensors from before (because we can’t share them in lab as usual), so we’ll have to solder up some more. Here are the parts needed for each pressure-sensor board (prices are from 2018, when we last made pressure-sensor boards—I’ve not bothered to update them).
