This project is becoming a head ache
I could get only a few parts that are exact match with the ones from David Eks website.
10uF 35V Electrolytic capacitors, neither Dick Smith nor Jaycar have in stock, they say maybe next week. And thats what they told me a few weeks ago and the same today. And its not 35V but 25V which they say should be OK. They promised this time it's definitely ordered and should be in the shop by Thursday.
Also 0.1uF Monolithic capacitor doesn't look like the ones from Dave's supplier but again they say it should be OK.
10K Ohm 0.25 Watt resistors don't exist here in those shops, again neither Dick Smith nor Jaycar, they gave me 0.5 WATT and that should be OK.
Not to mention problem getting encoders, still hunting for them.
Now I understand why people just buy Argo Navis. Yes, it is expensive, but. When you consider that after all I will end up buying encoders from Garry. And then you need laptop to hook everything on, and hope everything works as planed.
I will still try to get encoders from somewhere else first and finish my EK box. Maybe I should have built Bartels system instead
