Getting the Parts
In preparing the projects outlined in this book, I've taken special care to use components that are readily available through a variety of retailers, both in the United States and internationally. I've also partnered with Adafruit (adafruit.com), a popular retailer of hobbyist electrical components. You can purchase all the components required for completing the projects in this book from Adafruit. A convenient listing of Adafruit parts for each chapter is available at exploringarduino.com/kits.
At the beginning of each chapter, you'll find a detailed list of parts that you need to complete that chapter—all of these parts are available from many sources. The companion website for this book, www.wiley.com/go/exploringarduino2e, also provides links to multiple sources where you can find the parts for each chapter.
