| Make Electronics book 2nd edition components list? |

UPDATE: I have created a list which you can find here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/make-electronics-book-2nd-edition-components-list/msg2690322/#msg2690322 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. |

Metal film resistors are better. Far more stable. If you want a reasonable selection of mostly trustworthy parts, use Tayda Electronics. They sell 1/4W metal film resistors in packs of ten so you can just buy as many as you need of each value and they are really cheap. Only buy the Royal Ohm ones as they are decent quality - the unbranded ones are shit. Also avoid the ebay selections - they are full of weird values or are the worst quality they could muster with hair thin legs. https://www.taydaelectronics.com/ |

You can get a complete component kit in a case on Amazon for the 2nd Edition. |

There seem to be two suppliers of kits - Chaney Electronics and ProTechTrader. Here are the product pages for the Chaney Electronics kits which lists their contents (see the referenced PDF files): https://www.electronickitsbychaneyelectronics.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CM1001 https://www.electronickitsbychaneyelectronics.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CM1002 https://www.electronickitsbychaneyelectronics.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CM1003 The ProTechTrader product page is not as detailed: https://www.protechtrader.com/Make-electronics-component-pack-1-2nd-edition |

I wouldn't buy packs of stuff like that. They're overpriced and at least half of my time with electronics is hunting down parts so practicing that is good too :) |
