Project VGA

Digikey order & parts list Project VGA

This is the order I placed at Digikey for the first version of Project VGA. I cleaned it up somewhat, right now (18th of October) the FPGA is backordered so that one will probably take another month and a half. Everything else should be shipped within the week. What you'll also see is the Required quantity for one card, basically the Bill of materials. You'll also see that I've ordered more than enough for two cards. I've done this for two reasons; one, I somehow expect the worst and see myself blowing one of these cards up when doing something stupid, second, I wouldn't mind having two of these babies. When it comes to resistors and stuff I just rounded everything up a lot, since they're small and easy to drop/lose when assembling, there's a minimum of 10 pieces when ordering, and I can always use them for something else.

Also note that I ordered 6 standard connection headers (because they're handy for pretty much everything) but I forgot to order the actual connectors. D'oh. I'll get them from somewhere else when I need them. I'm guessing that HKR14H-ND would've fit nicely. Furthermore, this list is without any taxes or import costs (if you're, like me, not in the USA) so expect another little 'bonus' on top of the total at the bottom. In my case I'm estimating another €40,00. And this is just components, the PCB is coming from a different shop.

Two days later, most of the stuff got delivered! Haven't checked if everything is present yet, but looks good so far. Costs excluding the FPGA: €119,30, which resulted in taxes of €31,25 on this package. And now we wait for the FPGA to arrive.

FPGA arrived! Costs: €39,58, taxes: €7,60. If I'd look at it as an optimist; 5 days earlier than expected! Or as a pessimist; took 'em long enough. Either way I'm happy and now it's time to get that circuit board fixed.

For all info related to the costs of the circuit board, looky here.
