Hi Thunderchild,
Welcome to civilization.

Thunderchild · 24th June 2008, 08:54 PM

thank you not that I'm too impressed with what the UK has become but at least I can go online and buy anything I want and expect some minimum rights at work (although agency's seem to be more about ripping you off but never mind)

Don't North American distributors ship worldwide? If that is true, then "cannot get parts in this country" can't be justified, unless the country is embargoed. Using two identical power resistors tied to the supply lines to establish a reference ground to feed an op amp should give you a reference ground.

If I had seen this post earlier, I could have suggested some web sites where you can order electronic parts online in Italy. It works just the same as in UK or France or USA, etc.

I always buy from Distrelec, RS and Farnell (Farnell sells only to VAT registered users). You place an order and you receive it on the next day, no matter if you live in a big town or in a small village.
By the way, I went and visited Alberobello and I liked it very much. It is an UNESCO World Heritage Centre IIRC and people were very kind with me.

I phone a man up he goes and looks on his computer and tells me he can't get me IC "x" or any replacement I mean are we joking. do you know how many projects I have just tossed to the wind cause I knew I would never get the parts ?

That's your fault, not the systems - get yourself a credit or debit card - this isn't the 19th century you know!.

You're in the UK, component availability is extremely good, second only to the USA - and the post is probably even better here.
