Futurlec, The Electronic Components and Semiconductor Superstore Finding Parts - Hobbyist / Surplus Sites The data on the "Finding Parts" pages is actually all in a Wiki (a webpage that anyone, even you, can edit!) If you have suggestions or ideas for other companies or sources you can post it in the forum but it might be faster and easier to just edit the wiki page yourself! (You'll have to make an account "Not the best, but still a good deal" This is not an exhaustive list, but these are my favorite surplus locations. Check in for specials, sales, and limited-quantity items. General Surplus parts and components Dan's Small Parts and Kits A wide variety of transistors, diodes, inductors, caps, crystals, discreet RF devices, standoffs, connectors etc. Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories lots of fun kits, cool "BulbDial" clock, awesome 12" and 2.3" 7 segment displays, LEDs, ICs, Servos, Stepper motors, tools, Proto and bread board stuff. Tayda Electronics DigiKey eCrater Lots of random stuff on the rest of the website. Engineering Shock Electronics Maplin Sparkfun Electronics Mouser Electronics
HVW Technologies: Microcontrollers, Embedded Software, Development Tools and Robotics Hobby Engineering Home Page Open Circuits Tools, Parts, Kits for DIY'ers - Curious Inventor Solution-VS1063 - MP3 / OGG / AAC / WMA / FLAC / G.711 / G.722 Audio Codec Circuit VS1063 is the newest VLSI Solution's MP3 slave processor family. As a first in VLSI's over decade long history of creating innovative audio IC products, VS1063 is as much aimed at encoding as it is at decoding audio. The VS1063 IC can encode an unforeseen multitude of audio formats, from MP3 and Ogg Vorbis to G.711 u-law, G.711 A-law, G.722 and 16-bit PCM. The proprietary MP3 encoder and Ogg Vorbis encoder have been carefully tuned for highest possible audio fidelity for high-quality audio streaming or recording. VS1063 can play back MP2, MP3, WMA, OGG, LC-AAC, HE-AAC, FLAC, IMA, G.711 u-law, G.711 a-law, G.722 and WAV PCM formats, making it very suitable for hi-fi audio playback and streaming applications. VS1063 also offers a full-duplex codec mode with optional Acoustic Echo Cancellation. VS1063 provides many built-in sound effects, including a bass enhancer and treble control, a 5-band equalizer, a speed shifter and VLSI Solution's proprietary EarSpeaker room processing.
Open Source Kits Welcome to the Daisy mp3 project page! Here you will find everything you need to make the Daisy mp3 player. All the source files, hex files, EAGLE cad files, and documents are here. www.makezine.com The Daisy is a multipurpose sound player for embedded applications. The Daisy is based on the Microchip PIC18F45j10, which is a new family of PIC microcontrollers. All of the firmware was written using CCS PCH C compiler. This is an open source project, with minimal protections reserved via a Creative Commons license. Please Email me if you have any specific questions, or just to let me know you are doing this project! Project files (this is it) Please save these to disk, so that my server doesn’t get overloaded by serving up the files over and over again. Click below for: The manual in PDF format... This project uses the PCH C compiler available from ccsinfo.com: The source code... The hex files, if you don't have a compiler... Use Cadsoft EAGLE to read the below files. The schematic...
PHENOLIC Phenolic sheet is a hard, dense material made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper or glass cloth impregnated with synthetic resin. These layers of laminations are usually of cellulose paper, cotton fabrics, synthetic yarn fabrics, glass fabrics or unwoven fabrics. When heat and pressure are applied to the layers, a chemical reaction (polymerization) transforms the layers into a high-pressure thermosetting industrial laminated plastic.
