Parts Used in This Book

For the projects discussed in this book, we have drawn from many different sources to obtain our parts. As we discussed in Chapter 1, a starter kit from one of the many retailers listed in that chapter is a great beginning point, because they contain many of the smaller fiddly parts needed to make things work. Some of the parts, like the ADXL335 accelerometer breakout board from SparkFun that we used in Chapter 8, could be substituted with other boards from Adafruit, Modern Device, or many others.

Table A-1 is a list of all of the parts used in this book, with the supplier, a part number, and an approximate price in US dollars for each item, along with the chapter number that the part was first mentioned. Part numbers are from the listed supplier, although many of our selected suppliers sell the same or similar items. This is just to give you a reference so that you can see what we were looking at.
