On campus electronics equipment?

[Steven Cholewiak]

I wanted to know if there were any facilities for students to use or borrow
basic electronics equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, components,
etc.)? I'm starting to learn to program in assembly for Microchip PICmicro
microcontrollers (http://www.microchip.com/1010/index.htm) and I wanted to
know if I could use or borrow a breadboard and some basic components
(including a 5V power supply, LEDs, resistors, and possibly an oscilloscope)
because I just recently purchased a programmer and a PIC16F628
microcontroller
(http://www.microchip.com/1010/pline/picmicro/category/embctrl/8kbytes/devic
es/16c628/index.htm) and I just wanted to try some basic projects. I wasn't
sure if there were facilities for students to use electronics equipment, but
I just wanted to email you to ask if you knew if they are available.

I just realized that this is a general sci.electronics.basic group, not
specific to the University of Virginia
I apologize, I should have double checked.

If you are an EE/CE/CS major, the univ should definitely let you into labs
where you can hang out and play with stuff...
