Hobby Suppliers

2008-09-05 by xolang1

Hi all

Everytime I need a part, I have difficulty searching for suppliers/distributors
that cater to single/low volume orders thats typical for personal/hobby projects.
May I request If anyone can kindly add to my list:

www.mouser.com
www.parallax.com
www.futurlec.com
www.digikey.com

Anyone else?

thanks!

Chris

            Hi,



Yes, I saw that one, too. 

http://focus. ti.com/docs/ toolsw/folders/ print/ez430- f2013.html



I saw a similar one from ST

http://www.st. com/mcu/contenti d-89-15-ST7FUS_ PRIMER.html



However please help me understand if this part is actually helping me.

I see it such that the USB connector is 'only' the programming

interface to the actual (quite tiny) MCU board. The MCU is then

supposed to be taken stand alone and does not have USB connectivity by

itself. I don't know how difficult it would be to 'channel' my

measurements through that path:

mcu -> (probably) serial -> programmer -> USB -> PC



Something where the USB is actually part of the MCU would be much nicer.



I found this one;

http://www.olimex. com/dev/avr- usb-162.html



But it has the AT90USB162 which does not have A/D capability.



After all the Atmel board 'AT90USB1287' has the A/D feature.



Thanks,

Gert

Oh yeah, I forgot them.  I HAVE ordered from them too.
Also Gateway Electronics but it's a LOT more fun just to go down and visit 
their St. Louis store. Talk about a kid in a candy shop!
