==== Individual station ====

  * 2 multimeters
  * 50 V power supply
  * Breadboard
  * Slide-wire potentiometer
  * Electrical parts:
    * Incandescent bulb (in holder),
    * LED (on board with resistor),
    * 2 resistors (preferably of two different values),
    * Photoresistor,
    * Pressure resistor (with alligator clips), and
    * ~4 masses (for use with pressure resistor)

==== Setup notes ====
On the 50 V/2A power supplies...
  * ...turn the current limit up to max (2 A), and
  * ...check the overload button (and reset if necessary).

Check the multimeters to make sure there aren't blown 500 mA fuses (on the mA and $\mu$A settings).
