Modding SPC900NC - where can I source the 4066 IC ??

[astroboyz]

Can you please advise where I can buy this IC? I've seen it on from Jaycar http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ZC4066 but not quite sure it can be used. The one in the instruction was HEF4066B

many thanks in advance.

Hey, You can buy the camera here (http://www.telescopes-astronomy.com.au/toucam_philips.htm), modded for long exposure.

A 4066 is pretty much a 4066. Why they chose that chip I don't know, it is notoriously fragile, and has been for 30 years!

In years gone by I must have replaced a squillion of them.

Cheers,
Jason.

I searched for HEF4066B from their main page.

The one from Jaycar will be ok.
