Thanks, sureelectronics look's to have a really nice selection of components. Cheaper than futurlec too!

Thanks!

General discussion / Looking for surface mount component assortments

February 22, 2011, 06:49:17 am

I've recently started etching my own circuit boards and have been only using through hole components, I would like to start moving onto surface mount components, I've been searching and unable to find anywhere that sells cheap assortments of surface mount components.

Seeedstudio has some sample books of 0805 resistors/capacitors, but they're kinda expensive (70$!) and way more than I'll ever need.

Anyone know where I can get anything like this?

Breakout boards / Re: What breakout do you need/want?

Registered just to comment on ARM breakout boards.

I would love to see a simple STM32FXXX series breakout board. You can get a STM32VLDiscovery board for around 8 dollars that can act as a cheap SWD programmer, but I've found absolutely zero simple, cheap bare bones breakout boards for the STM32 line of chips that I would feel comfortable buying and putting in a finished project.

olimex boards are ok, but still over priced, 20-30 euros for a simple STM32 breakout board. Plus, the big JTAG header could be replaced by the smaller, SWD.

Would also be nice to buy a bare PCB without the chip on it.
