Some cheap generic stuff like esp32s are cheap from AliExpress :p

@kitten

reichelt.de
Digikey
Mouser

Alibaba.com for bigger orders.

@kitten@elizabeth.cat For ESP32 and LEDs and cables and connectors and things like that, AliExpress is good! And for more specialized parts we've had success with DigiKey. Because searching for specific items is very hard with AliExpress :neofox_scream:

@kitten@social.elizabeth.cat I've mostly used Reichelt (not specifically for ESP32, but they have those, too). https://www.reichelt.de/

[nyovaya@transfem.social]

@kitten@social.elizabeth.cat Ebay or leech them from other hackers spare parts :D

@kitten aliexpress, az-delivery, berrybase

@kitten amazon tends to be way more expensive than AliExpress. Problem is that most boards have the lowest flash configuration, so if you need for example 8MB or 16MB you would probably need to buy the modules themselves. Also none of the Ethernet dev boards have USB (but I'm planning on fixing that soon™)

@kitten I was happy with az-delivery.de before :)
They provide decent data sheets and instructions too, but I think most of it might be in German.
