Pixeljedi, thanks, that helps a great deal on planning!
digger945, very good info.! That is a great idea(s). Organizing and ordering in that way will help me a whole bunch. I have the hardest time setting up my BOM with the different stores, then the boutiques, oos, etc.
I think your ideas will minimize my confusion, lol!
Thank you both for the quick responses.

When it comes time to order, open up Mouser in one tab, Digikey in another tab, Amb.org in another tab and copy and paste the part numbers from Amb.org to the part search box on Mouser or Digikey one at a time. Doesn't take long. Marking the parts off on the list printed first allows me to be interrupted and then resume where I left off later. Doing one part at a time allows you to deal with "out of stock" parts as they are discovered. |
