IC Components

List of cheap and helpful components and ICs for a generic hobby collection

There have been several requests from members of the Carleton College Circuits and Schematics Society to assemble this list to aid in the component collection process. Variety is the spice of life, but also very difficult to keep organized. The thumbnail images, prices, and external links are pulled daily through the eBay Developers API. These are not the specifiy what I purchased nor are they necesarly the cheapest or most reliable. This should provide a good starting point though. If there are any problems please let me know through mertzkeaton@allotropicprojects.com
