Hello again!
Sorry for my awkward disappearance; high school gets the best of you and your time, especially in the later years...
I'm trying to get some projects done, both educational and personal. (And this!
) That will be saved for separate topics.
Now for some long overdue replies:
SirCmpwn: Price hopefully will be below $10, but no guarantees. (Not including shipping, but that shouldn't be expensive at all. I know from selling stuff on eBay.... a LOT.
) How much can you invest into buying one? I'll try to tailor it to that price.
KermM: I think I might end up sticking to either having a compartment to stick a bunch of cables in, or have little covers on the top with half of the wire soldered, half being the plug.
And to everyone - could anyone with electronic parts buying experience help me put together a list? Any supplier is fine now, regardless of payment method, since my parents can do the purchases for me.
Here's my idea of parts so far:
= 1 perfboard, unknown size (could anyone suggest sizes based on case?)
= Black shiny case, with logo on top (http://www.polycase.com/item/sl-73p.html)
= 7 or 9 2.5mm sockets
= 6 or 8 2.5mm plugs/wires
= 7 or 9 LEDs
= 7 or 9 10k ohm resisters (am I reading the schematic wrong?)
= 7 or 9 330 ohm resisters (same as above)
= (probably tons more, please tell me if I've forgot anything or got something wrong!)
Image of schematic, just so I can find it easily:
