The following lists contain the parts and tools necessary to complete our courses on Embedded Systems
Many of the items below are reusable and they will last for many years if you look after them.
The items in these lists are provided in an effort to make it easier for our students to find the parts and tools they need. While we take care to find reliable Amazon sellers, we cannot be responsible for problems in their supply chain or fulfillment. Sellers may run out of stock, or shipments may be lost in transit. For issues like these or warranty claims, please get in touch with the seller or Amazon directly.
If you do not live in the US, UK, or Germany, or the Amazon stores that we provide links to below do not deliver to your location, consider using a freight forwarding service like Shipito. You can ship your shopping to them, and they will forward to you, anywhere in the world. This is useful in case, for at least some of the items in your shopping list, Amazon will not ship to addresses outside the US.
