Buying parts for the first time06/28/2009
Today I ordered parts for the first time in the history of this project. They were 10 prototyping boards from Jameco and some nice (and cheap) switches from Gold Mine Electronics.
I am specially happy with the proto boards because it have been difficult to find good sizes at good prices. This is not particularly cheap (5.5 x 8 inches at $10.95) but is the best I could get and it's not bad at all.
The switches look really nice in the catalog (I hope they are as good) and the price couldn't be better: 59 cents each... I ordered 100 at once!.
The BUS LAB is not designed yet but I need the switches with me before I can make final design decisions. Since switches and other parts need to fit in a panel, physical dimensions count more than one can imagine.
