Suppliers
All the parts can be purchased online.
- AliExpress is the cheapest place to purchase parts from. Parts will usually take 2-4 weeks to arrive. It is often difficult to find the cheapest supplier. Often I will put the same item from various suppliers in my shopping cart to work out which one is cheaper. Sometimes it is cheaper to purchase the same item a number of times, rather than purchasing the item in multiples.
- Ebay will be able to provide most products, although, components can be a little more expensive.
- RS Components are expensive but deliver fast and have high quality components.
