Make Electronics book 2nd edition components list?
<< < (9/10) > >>
scatterandfocus:
Anyone know a place to get unplated perfboard?  What little I see of it on Digikey and Ebay is a little pricey.  I suppose that plated perfboard would do just as well though.
scatterandfocus:
Parts Express has some more reasonably priced bare perforated board.  I think I will just get some plated perfboard from Tayda for now, though.
scatterandfocus:
I think I'm about done with getting things together (wheww!).  That was about 4 days of looking things over, discussion in this thread, searching, and shopping.

Here is my edited list obtained from the tables and paragraphs in the back of the book and by looking over some of the projects where I felt it to be necessary.  A few odds and ends will likely still need to be obtained (such as small sections of pvc pipe), but this at least gives someone an idea of the bulk components list.  But I could have missed some components.  If anyone notices any issues, please let me know so that I can update it.

Funny thing when hitting that reply button.  All the mistakes suddenly appear out of thin air.   :-DD

I should have only added the necessary components for the book to my carts and then shared the carts, but I ended up adding extra quantities and other components as I thought of them, so the total increased over what the book calls for.  And I opted out of buying some things such as neodymium magnets, 16 gauge wire, magnet wire, machine screws and nuts, bare perforated board, plastic project box, and 8 ohm 4" speaker, so the total is less overall less than what the book called for.  But given all that, my Tayda cart ended up at $78 including DHL 3-4 day shipping ($11 for shipping to U.S.), and my Digikey cart ended up at $31 including 3 day First Class Mail ($5 shipping), for a grand total of $109.

--- Quote from: scatterandfocus on September 11, 2019, 05:53:22 pm ---UPDATE:  I have created a list which you can find at around 40 posts into this thread.  It is near the bottom of page 2 of this thread for me.  To jump to it, search for the string:  diy-or-die

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a parts list/cart at any of the major U.S. suppliers (Mouser, Digikey, etc.) for the Make Electronics 2nd edition book.  I have already made my own list from the book in plain text, but if there is already a cart at Mouser, for example, that could make things much easier, even if I decide to get some of the components from elsewhere.  If not, I guess I will be making one to share.

Also, is there a downside to metal film over carbon comp resistors?  I see lots of inexpensive metal film assortments on ebay.  I don't really see any assortments on Mouser.  And I have read that it is best to buy transistors and ic's from a reputable supplier (because of counterfeiting), and to get passive components from elsewhere to save on cost.  So I'm thinking of getting some passive assortments from ebay and filling in any missing values at Mouser along with the active components.

In the book he says that he has links to kits that correspond to his books you can buy. I would just do that if i were you.
