Looks like there are no single digit 7-segment displays available from Tayda. Digikey has lots of them but not the recommended part numbers from the book: Avago HDSP-513A (preferred) Lite-On LTS-546AWC Kingbright SC56-11EWA What I notice about the recommended part numbers: 10-DIP (0.6", 15.24mm) package Common cathode or common anode (doesn't seem to matter) They are ordered according to power dissipation The book specifications are: 0.56" digital height (this shouldn't matter at all) low current red 2V forward voltage 5mA forward current (same situation as for low forward current LED's mentioned in a previous post) Meeting all the requirements, only Kingbright parts were available at Digikey. I chose the Kingbright SC56-11SRWA, which is common cathode. |

While the selection of 74 series chips has shrunk over the years (no matter in in which package), those which are still available are also available in DIP packages. And of course Mouser has them too: https://eu.mouser.com/Semiconductors/Integrated-Circuits-ICs/Logic-ICs/_/N-6j77x?P=1z0z63xZ1z0y3hmZ1z0xt33 --- End quote --- Yep, I missed that. The book covers that too, but I forgot about it. :palm: Being that I am buying the bulk of parts from Tayda, I think I will make up carts at both Mouser and Digikey to see how much things add up to. I don't expect to see a great difference, but maybe there are other considerations to think about, such as availability of all required parts from either store. I also noticed that I missed some components from the book when making my list. I will have to double and triple check over that, else the results could be disastrous, such as paying maybe $10 more in shipping! But I'm around 3/4 way through finding the components on my list so far (with lots of extras) and my total is around $35 (not including taxes and shipping). But wire alone will be another $15-20. And I think that I don't need any tools mentioned in the book, as I already have them. I do expect that the grand total will be under $100, which sure beats those kit prices, where multiple kits are required. But more importantly, I am finding out lots of small things along the way about choosing various components. |

Being that I will save some money over buying kits, I think I will add some components to my list to tinker with or burn-out: Various sensors, such as thermistors, photoresistors, piezos, hall sensors, ? Power transistors, heatsinks, opamps, ? D flip-flops, multiplexers/demultiplexers, ? Any interesting component suggestions for a beginner and supporting components welcome. |

I’m not sure the scope of the book but I’d run through them on topic to start with and then worry about that. Many years ago I didn’t do that and ended up on numerous tangents which were expensive and time consuming. Once you’ve done those books it’s worth looking at Learning The Art of Electronics which is a little more advanced. The analogue section in that has a few design and build projects which are pretty good such as a light wave audio link and PID control of motors etc |

In this thread I put together a Mouser order for a collection of "classic" op amps. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/where-to-buy-opamps-and-other-useful-ic-assortment-kit-components-in-the-usa/msg2664363/#msg2664363 They are kinda expensive from Mouser, and if Tayda has them for cheaper I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them. Almost everything Tayda sells is of interest / fun for the hobbyist. At $.10 a piece why not buy a couple of thermistors to play around with? If you want to prioritize your purchases I think you'll find more beginner-level applications / circuits that involve opto-electronics, and that means parts like: - photo-transistors - IR leds - LDRs - light dependent resistors - IR receiver/demodulator module - optocouplers / photo-interruptors Check out Tayda's optical sensor page: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/sensors-transducer/optical-sensor.html Have a look at the circuits in this book, and it'll give you an idea of what other components you might want to get: http://www.n5dux.com/ham/files/pdf/Forrest%20Mims%20-%20Optoelectronics%20Circuits.pdf |
