US
- DigiKey U.S. Based Global Parts Supplier. Fast shipping, large stock, good prices. $5 surcharge on orders less than $25.
| Part Number | Description |
| ATMEGA8L-8PU-ND | The AVR |
| 220QBK-ND | 220 ohm resistors |
| 225ME-ND | DB25 Male Solder Cup connector |
| A23623-ND | DB25 Backshell |
| 604-1054-ND | 47uF cap |
| ED3128-ND | 28 pin IC socket |
| 478-3193-ND | .10uF cap |
| 160-1602-ND | Blue Status LED |
| K325-ND | 30 AWG Kynar wire |
Note: While Digikey charges very little for the ATMEGA (less than $4), you'll probably end up paying at least $10 more for shipping and handling. Mouser, while charging more for the chip itself, should wind up being cheaper, as they do not have the $5 handling fee.

Triwing
If you're feeling adventurous (or impatient) you can always attempt to Make your own Take note, though- homemade triwings aren't always the most reliable, and the screws can be pretty tight!
Alternatively, you can just buy one for cheap:
E-Bay seems to provide triwings for cheap. Apparently the regular price is about $4, but I've heard of one sold for only $2
A quick search reveals that a cheap triwing can be found at Play-Asia (cheap shipping too!)
In Germany, you can order one at TA Multimedia.
Contact Sliverstorm at chiip-parts@trashmail.net if you have any suggestions, information, or additional sources.
