All shops constantly improve their starter packs, so it’s a good idea to scan
their online catalogs carefully.
Complete Parts List
If you prefer to buy parts piece by piece (or chapter by chapter) rather than
in a starter pack, here is a list of all the parts used in the book. Each chapter
also has a parts list and a photo with all parts needed for that chapter. Sug-
gested websites where you can buy the parts are listed here for your conve-
nience, but many of these parts are available elsewhere also, so feel free to
shop around.
Good shops for buying individual components parts are Digi-Key,

SparkFun,

and Mouser.

has become an excellent shop for
electronic parts, too.
• An Arduino board, such as the Uno, available from Adafruit or Maker
Shed.
• A USB cable. Depending on the Arduino board you’re using, you will either
need a standard A-B cable or a standard A-micro-B cable. You might
already have a few. If not, you can order it at Amazon, for example.
• A half-size breadboard from Maker Shed (search for breadboard) or from
Adafruit (product ID 64).
• Three LEDs. (You need four additional ones for an optional exercise.)
Buying LEDs one at a time isn’t too useful; a better idea is to buy a pack
of 20 or more. Search for LED pack at any of the online shops mentioned
in this chapter.
• One 100Ω resistor, one 330Ω resistor, two 10kΩ resistors, and three 1kΩ
resistors. It’s also not too useful to buy single resistors; buy a value pack,
such as catalog number 10969 from SparkFun.
• Two pushbuttons. Don’t buy a single button switch; buy at least four
instead, available at Digi-Key (part number 450-1650-ND) or Mouser (101-
TS6111T1602-EV).
• Some wires, preferably breadboard jumper wires. You can buy them at
Maker Shed (product code MKSEEED3) or Adafruit (product ID 153).
