However, below is a list of parts which should get you all the way through the book, as well as suggested places to purchase them. This assumes some amount of reuse of parts such as breadboards, battery clips, and power modules between projects. If you want to keep multiple projects around, for instance, you will need to purchase multiple breadboards and power modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If no quantity is listed, you can get away with buying 1.  If a quantity is listed as &#8220;probably&#8221;, then you can get away with 1, but you will have to reuse it between projects.  If it is listed as &#8220;optional&#8221; that means it is described in the book but not used in any full project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve listed the product pages for the Chinese company BangGood for most of these (identified as BG), and will add other suppliers as I have time, or if the component isn&#8217;t available there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional note &#8211; I have not purchased\/tested all of the products below individually, so I cannot guarantee them.  Electronics components for the hobbyist seem to come and go quickly, and I usually purchase my own stash off of eBay, which is forever changing links.  However, to the best I can tell, these components match what is in the book.  If you run into any components that don&#8217;t work for the book, or if any links get broken, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bartlettpublishing.com\/site\/bp-learning\/\">let us know<\/a> so we can update the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Project Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are needed for almost every project.  You might start by just purchasing these, and then purchase the other ones as you reach the need for them in the chapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Large breadboard (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"
