Parts ordering from Mouser

Chrometuna

I was just trying to price out parts for the Soundlab mini synth at mouser electronics.

After entering in all of the parts (Except pots and switches, which Small Bear seems to have MUCH cheaper!)

I noticed this on the shopping cart page:

IMO, the project feature has been one of the best tools for ordering parts on the internet. I use it all of the time.
As far as a project file for the SLMS, its not a bad idea, but i'm not sure if there is a way to export an actual file and load it to another users account. This can be solved with mouser's second best tool: BOM Import. A text file, which can be easily shared/modified by everyone, would contain part#'s and quantities of each component used. This can then be fed into the BOM importer and it (usually) spits out an order, which can then be saved as a project. Ray has something approximating this on his page, but since ROHS and progress and all of that bother, the list is not as accurate as it used to be. I have no problem taking this one on, if a little interest is generated from this thread.

ROHS is a standard for reducing toxic waste and promoting low-emissions in factories. For many electronics, this boils down to no lead (as in- Pb -the element). This effects components that have parts for soldering, since lead was a common component to reduce the melting temperature of solder, as well as make it "flow" better. Newer solders typically need higher temps, and aren't as easily repairable as the "old" stuff. For hobbies, it really doesn't matter, but many of the non-ROHS parts are disappearing from the stock shelves, so you need to use the new part numbers.

Here it is, the first draft. I tried to keep a good balance between low cost and good, useable parts. I also split up the component sections in case one were to already have resistors on hand, etc... Some substitutions of note. The LF444's have been replaced with LF347's, these being the closest thing mouser carries. Can't guarantee it will work, but it is a J-Fet input quad opamp. The LF442 is being replaced by an LF412. This should be fine. C3 is 2.2uf, instead of 2.0. And R6 and R94 are 499? instead of 500?. All resistors are 1% except R5, R7, and R13 which are 5%. Questions, comments, corrections welcomed.

Hey thanks. Any usefulness that can be had from things like this is the perfect way to pay it forward on all the great info that I've gotten around here. Laughing

Can anyone make a BOM file for the single bus keyboard controller?

Thanks a lot for that BOM. I had to separate each line so there was only a part# and a quantity on a line, but it worked great, came to $75 minus battery snaps.
