Electronics Shopping

Where to buy electronics parts & other stuff

• In Rotterdam:
  • DIL electronica in the Jan Lightartstraat, nr 59, behind the Ikazia hospital near Zuidplein
  • International Bearing Services sell all kinds of ball-bearings and other mechanical stuff
  • Troost Aandrijftechniek bearings and wheels and other mechanical stuff
  • Eriks also mechanical bits, gears, etc.
• On-Line:
  • Pieter Floris sells Arduini, sensors, displays and other cool stuff
  • iPrototype sells Arduini and such
  • Sparkfun sell lots of Arduini and other kits. They have their own design-team who make cool gadgets etc. However, they are in the U.S., so you will need a credit-card to buy stuff from Sparkfun, and shipping takes a while...
  • Farnell Wholesale Electronics. If you need a part and can't find it anywhere else, look here. However, you need to ba a business and have an account with them before you can order stuff. If you REALLY need something from Farnell, let me (Stock) know and i can order it for you.
