Mindboards

I recently purchased the Extreme NXT book, and I was curious if anyone knew if there is a list of the things I should buy to go through the book? I understand that Appendix B has a list of the websites of where you can buy supplies, but it does not say which website is for what item. Any help?
Thanks

It really depends on what projects you want to build. Digi-Key and Radio Shack should have nearly all the parts you need, though they will not be the cheapest prices.

Futurlec (http://www.futurlec.com) is probably the cheapest for the majority of common parts you'll need. Farnell (http://www.farnell.com) is an excellent company for hard to source parts, but are relativly expensive compared to other sources.

I suggest the first purchase should be a Breadboard (eBay or Futurelec) to build your circuits on and a Multimeter (eBay or Futurelec) with Frequency, Restistance, Capacitance, Inductance. A multimeter with a USB connection which will alow you to log your meter readings over time & is a helpful option.

The most important advice I can give to you or anyone wanting to tinker with electronics is: "Don't let fear hold you back!"
