Help sourcing parts for makerfaire

[Dirk Swart]

Hi NYCR resistor,

We are in Queens / Corona and looking for 4 potentiometers, 2.5mm barrel jack (male and female) and a few RGB LEDs.

I would appreciate your advice on where to get them - the shack was a bust.

Thanks
Dirk

Hi

10k pots.
Bigger is better on LEDs

Thanks
Dirk

Try different Radio Shacks. I often make the rounds when in a bind.  Some have more than others.  It is hard to call and check though.  The Days of the clerk knowing a thing about it are over.  

You could try 269 Electronics. http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/03/269-electronics-canal-str.html

what values do you need? i could bring some with me. i'll be there
first thing tomorrow morning.

[Dirk Swart]

Hi,

Thank you so much! 10K ohms would be ideal, Three pots, and a 2.5mm barrel jack socket.
We have managed to get some RGB LEDs, so are all set on that.

We are Maker 6511, in the central pavilion under the Mercury capsule.

Best regards
Dirk

[Michael Shiloh]

got the pots but not the 2.5mm socket, yet. i'll scrounge. but isn't
this the same size as arduino? they probably have some for sale in the
makershed, or perhaps a loose one you could have free/cheap

are you with ken boak?

i'll be at the makerbot booth. call me at 415 425 5320

[Dirk Swart]

Hi

Thank you so much! Yes, we are here with Ken.

Cheers
Dirk

Here's the picture I took: http://www.rubber-power.com/maker-faire.htm

By the way the rest of the pictures and video from the faire are at my Mambohead and EndlessLift blogs. 

If you need any help with that Squirrel kit let me know. 

If anybody who has one needs any help ping me. I'm Mr. Squirrel.
