It's comming up on my birthday... actually 4 minutes until my birthday. Anyway I will be getting a little money for it and Christmas and I was wondering what would be a good starter package of stuff to buy for messing around with electronics.
So far I have decided
Breadboards
resistors
capacitors
transistors
potentiometer
wire
IC's (555's 7490's 7448's etc)
LED's
seven segment displays
I am not sure which IC's I will be getting, I figure I will get a bunch of the 7400 series since there is less chance of me blowing them all up compared to say cmos chips.
I was also considering purchasing a basic stamp
I also need to purchase a power supply.
I was trying to stay around 100 dollars maximum but if its really cool (such as basic stamp) I realize I will have to go over. Lets say super cap of 350 dollars.
