    Good Books

    I think I want to add to this a reading list:

    The definitive electronics text is "The Art of Electronics", by Horowitz and Hill, Cambridge Press, ISBN 0-521-37095-7

    Other useful texts:
    Engineering Circuit Analysis, Hayt & Kemmerly, Mcgraw-Hill, 0-07-112736-4 This is a useful text concerning analysis techniques, such as nodal analysis and use of matrices. Goes on to look at the use of complex variables for frequency-dependant systems. Assumes at least A-level prior knowledge.

    Electronic Systems, M.W. Brimicombe, Nelson, 0-17-448067-9 This is a more basic text, which is actually aimed as an A-level textbook, but it does rather miss out the more basic level things such as ohm's law, power equation, etc. Little prior knowledge needed though.

    Looking at my book collection, the rest are rather more focused than most people here would want (things like "Digital System Design with VHDL", "Computer Organisation and Design", "Communication Engineering Principles", which I can assure you are wildly exciting reading. Really.).

    If someone else can recommend a good introductory textbook, that would be good too.

    US vendors for components:

    Action Electronics: Weird place, common passives, connectors and hardware, but a marked shortage of silicon. :confused:

    All Electronics: $6 shipping for most orders, no minimum order. Fairly eclectic selection, but at bargain prices. Quite a bit of pulled equipment. Uses UPS to ship, warehouse in Van Nuys, CA. (whypick1)

    Allied Electronics :No minimum order, on-line catalog browsing in pdf so a bit slow. "I also like allied electronics" - MrSaLTy. Will export, $50 minimum + delivery.

    Am. Sci. & Surplus:

    BG Micro:

    Circuit Specialists (Web-Tronics) :Decent range of basic components. Kits, pcb making supplies & lots of other odds and ends. No minimum order. (MrSaLTy)

    Dale Wheat:

    Digi-Key: Has almost anything.... (my search for a 1000uF 50V capacitor found 51 different models - cpemma). They can be a little spendy though. $5.00 handling charge if your order is less then $25.00. The digikey website could be better, but they have great ship times to me in the midwest. (MrSaLTy)

    Electronix:

    Electronix Express:

    Excess Solutions:

    Future Active:

    Futurlec: $3 shipping for most orders to anywhere in the world, so good for everybody. VERY cheap prices, but not a huge selection; mostly passive components and fairly common ICs (but they do have a few rare goodies, like QT110 touch-sensor chip). Make sure to pick up the component packs though, as they're also incredibly cheap. Delivery 7-10 days as orders come from Thailand. (whypick1)

    Goldmine:

    Hosfelt: $5 minimum order, small range covering the popular stuff, prices look low. Aimed at hobbyists, also do a range of kits.

    Jameco: Either the easiest or the most inane site to browse through. Almost everything they have has an actual color picture (unlike Mouser), but a lot of items are just plain in the wrong category (for example, copper clad PC board are in one of the D-Subminiature connector categories), and the printed catalog is of no use either because it doesn't list half of the stuff (every other page says "go to jameco.com to see the other ## items in this category"). That being said, they do stock quite a bit, so its worth checking out. $7 for orders under 2lb, UPS, also from CA. (whypick1)

    Mouser: HUGE selection (my search for a 1000uF 50V capacitor found over 60 different ones - cpemma). Make sure to either use their PDF catalog browser or get the free catalog sent to you; browsing this site willy-nilly is not advised. Most items have links to datasheets, which is nice. Some stuff is uber-cheap, while some things can be had much cheaper at other places, but there's still the fact that you can probably find everything you need all at this one place. No minimum order, no handling fees, shipping charged at cost (will be around $4-6 for your typical order by UPS - (whypick1) (nlaehcim suggests you check out the various delivery options depending on your rush).

    MPJA:

    Newark: Wide range, lots of things that you can't find at other places. I found MIC502 fan management chips there when I couldn't find them anywhere else. They are very spendy though. (MrSaLTy) Canadians can place orders with http://canada.newark.com/. Not the easiest site to use unless you know exactly what you want & use the Search box. No minimum order, but $5 "service charge" on orders under $25.

    UK Component & Kit Suppliers :

    (delivery charges generally apply to under 1kg within UK)

    Bowood Electronics : Basic range of the most popular components and hardware with some £1 bargain packs. Low delivery charge for small (light) orders (from Kalym)

    CPC : Branch of Farnell originally for branded spare parts but branching into components. No minimum order, sliding scale of delivery charges, £5 +VAT (to £15), £4 +VAT(to £25), £3 (to £30) then free. (from sh3rb). Not the full Farnell range (but close), and the Search engine designed by a moron.

    Doctronics : Electronics Construction Kits (inc Knight Rider)

    ESR Electronic Components : Basic no-frills range covering most popular components, a good range of transistors. (and if you want a 1000W bulb to light your case, this is the place ;).) No online shop, but catalogue available as pdf files. Do 1-off resistors, unlike Farnell, Rapid and RS, & much cheaper than Maplin. UK Delivery £2.50 +VAT, £3.50 to EC.

    Farnell : Components galore, but I hate their database system. OK if you know what you want, useless for browsing. "The minimum order value for non-account credit or debit card customers is £20...The Company reserves the right to charge a handling charge of £3 on all orders under £30." Usually free, so may only apply to heavy stuff. Risky says Farnell stock a wide range of Papst fans and that any Papst with /2 in the code (after the N) eg 8412N/2GL has a third wire for speed monitoring.

    Futurlec : Not a UK firm, but their prices are very low and delivery is cheaper (if slower) than any of the home firms - $4 = £2.30 worldwide. And no VAT on orders under £18. :)

    Maplin Electronics : Decent range of the most popular components, kits, hardware. Fast delivery, online and in the High Street, but not the cheapest. Delivery £2.50, free over £35.

    OMC-UK : Lord_A says "Really good LED, Fibre, and other opto products."

    Quasar Electronics : Electronic Project Kits, look good value. PIC programmers, etc.

    Rapid Electronics : Good range of branded components, generally cheaper than the much bigger Farnell and RS. Online shop, no minimum order, delivery £3.45 (+VAT), free over £25.

    RS Online : Top UK component supplier. No minimum order, delivery £4.95 +VAT. No relation to RatShack.

    Technobots: Robotics, model and technology supplies. More engineering materials rather than electronics, but looks handy for advanced modders.

    Technology Supplies : 50 ohm 3W Rheostats. The Online Shop only takes orders from schools or account holders, but you can browse & "Personal orders are welcome with payment by credit card or personal cheque equally acceptable."

    Middlesex University Teaching Resources : Not a wide range of components, but lots of odds & sods that might come in... ;) Site menu borked in Firefox :rolleyes:

    Vision Aids : Supplies spares for TV sets, VCRs etc. as well as security camera systems.

    Interfacing :

    Using the USB port : Links to useful info, member tales and experience.

    A VERY useful manufacturer if you're planning to make things talk USB is Future Technology Devices International, who make a range of USB UARTs and FIFO devices. What this means, in layman's terms, is that if you have something that can talk via a serial or parallel port, then it can talk USB by just adding in one of these chips; it's that simple! One warning - the chips only come in surface mount packages (LQFP), so some fancy soldering may be needed.

    LEDMeter : Monitor cpu activity via the parallel port (PointOfNoReturn).

    DS1621 PC-powered thermometer: Taskbar display of probe temperature, uses serial port.

    WinLIRC : IR control your PC programs via the serial port.

    DiscoLitez : Some serial port control circuits and software.

    GideonTech : Skylined shows how to control 7-segment displays from the PP.

    Interfacing the PC's Keyboard : Same site covers serial, parallel & other ports, lots of info on USB.

    Computer Christmas site :Lots of ways to control lighting, etc, from PC ports.

    Jan Axelson's Lakeview Research : "The developer's resource for computer interfacing, especially Ethernet and Internet communications for embedded systems, USB, parallel port, and RS-232 and RS-485 serial communications."

    Stepping Motor Control : Tutorial from Iowa University. (from mattg2k4)

    International: you need to contact them. I've contacted them asking a quote for a package of 300gr or $25, to Europe (UK or Belgium), if they need specific information to calculate the costs.



    Electronix:

    Source: http://www.electronix.com/catalog/shipping.php
    Ships international: unknown (requested)
    Minimum order: $10
    USA: $2 handling + Carrier chart rate based on package weight and zone

    Closest I can find is this:

    Doesnt have a 1:1 image, but its got all the dimensions so you can draw your own if need be.

    I know most here wont use this but i found this helpful when trying to calculate my power needs for my new build, the free version is kind of basic, with the upgraded version it goes in to the most common components of you system and also has a water cooling loop builder. "not in to water cooling yet so im not sure how well that works.
