What chips 2 Get?

[theinfamousbob]

i am bidding on something pretty neat right now. I am not going to link to it for fear of brining attention to it, and the price raising, so i will show you guys when bidding is done (dirty pool, i know, but it is survival of the fittest! )


edit: but yes, i will probably get resistors on ebay.

You'll probably go crazy over these:

Small audio amp chips. You can often find them on old motherboards if you do not mind playing with SMD.

For uC add a RTC (real time clock) and some form of temperature monitoring ICs. Look into 1 wire devices esp if you are going to use a few. I2C if less. Digital pots.

Maybe others can suggest actual chip numbers.

No, not yet. As of right now there are 18 hours and 11 minutes left.

To some degree this is true. But it is a royal pain to spend $5 or more on shipping each time you want to build anything. |

There are some general purpose parts that it makes sense to have on hand. Resistors are a good clear cut example. On the other end of the scale are expensive special purpose chips that can be used for only 1 thing. Maybe MP3 player chips or that sort of thing.

It makes sense to have a selection op-amps and uC's on hand because they are very general purpose. Bypass caps by the 100s are useful.

Traditionally memory has been an item not to stock up on.
