LIST OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Kicad Like a Pro, 1st ed
This page contains a list of required parts and tools for the course "Kicad Like a Pro".
Please note: this course is obsolete, and has been superseded by
KiCad Like a Pro 3rd edition.
The following list contains the parts and tools necessary to complete the course Kicad Like a Pro.
The items in this list are provided in an effort to make it easier for our students to find the parts and tools they need. While we take care to find reliable Amazon sellers, we cannot be responsible for problems in their supply chain or fulfilment. Sellers may run out of stock at any time, or shipments may be lost in transit. For issues like these, or for warranty claims, please contact the seller or Amazon directly.
If you do not live in the US, UK or Germany, or the Amazon stores that we provide links to below do not deliver to your location, consider using a freight forwarding service like Shipito. You can ship your shopping to them, and they will forward to you, anywhere in the world. This is useful in case, for at least some of the items in your shopping list, Amazon will not ship to addresses outside the US.

About this parts list
This list was out of date the moment I published it. Every link depends on a marketplace and a seller, and those change constantly: listings vanish, stock rotates, sellers close, part numbers get reused. The list is here to help you identify what you need. It is not a guarantee that a given item will be available on any given day.
So use it this way: treat each entry as the name and specification of a part, then search for that same thing on eBay, Amazon, AliExpress, or your local supplier. In most cases you will find several equivalents, sometimes cheaper or closer to home than the one I linked. If you have made a real attempt and still can't find something, ask me and I will help.
Remember what you are building. These are open hardware projects made from off the shelf components, not a sealed product from a single vendor. Sourcing parts in a fluid marketplace is part of the work, and it is a skill worth having.
