need part numbers

[typoagain]

I bought my first LE about a year ago. Since then it seems that the gods have comspired agains me ever getting ti going.

I finally have got the time to finish it up and get it going, but then a new problem cropped up-my wife.

My lovely young bride decided that I needed a bit of help cleaning up the man-cave. In the mist of her cleaning frenzy she managed to throw away a little envelope full of chips. She swears that she never did this, but over ten HOURS of looking in every possible place says otherwise.

I need to replace all the chips that plug into the board. Could someone help me with a list of just what chips I need to get?

I have tried to figure it all out but I tend to get lost. I know nothing about electronics and actually depend on pictures and descriptions to put all of the together.

I also need to get a pickit to program all this with. Where can I find a good deal on that?

Any help would be appreciated!

For the PicKit, get a PicKit 3 you can get it off ebay (get the real Microchip PicKIT 3 and not the clones)

Or buy it direct here:

Thx, I think I have figured it out. 

I simply took the BOM and deleted everything that had a picture and did not look right. After that I was able to get a good idea as to what was what by the part numbers and descriptions. There was one extra part that did not have a picture and I am not sure just what it is, so I just bought it.

I was going to buy some solider until I saw that they had 583 different types of solder and flux. Screw that. I need to order some tips from MCM anyway, so I will just get the same thing I got last time!

Cool! You caught my one mistake just in time. I still have the order open in another window! Thx!

If you are putting in an order to Mouser, I would suggest adding in some spare parts as well such as an extra PIC, a few triacs and perhaps a few more opto's.  This way you can both aviod the fairly high shipping rates from Mouser and have parts on hand if something happens to the controller during the season.

I did order a few extra parts.

BUT! The day after I placed the order for the missing parts, guess what I find!

THE BLINKY-FLASHY GODS ARE AGAINST ME!

Then I guess that you need to apologise to the wife and are rewarded with even more spare parts.

Noooo....I am going to try the "just shut up and hope the wife does not find out while ordering another board" method.
