Good parts supplier for Europe (programming.dev)

Hello everyone!

I have a few projects lined up that I want to do, but I dont know where to order my parts from.

Up to now I was using grobotronics.com seeing as they ship to Cyprus which is where I am currently, because I needed basic stuff, but their stock is limited in terms of variation.

The parts I need for my project are a BNO085, Arduino Micro, and for a separate project some kind of STM32 (not sure which yet).

Anyone know a relatively cheap online store that has a wide selection of more these more specialised type components, that ships to Europe?

Thanks in advance!

They don’t have the widest selection, but az-delivery.de is my favourite.

Thanks! Youre right, they dont have a large selection it seems. From the 4-5 items I'm interested right now only the STM32 blue pill and the stlink programmer for it are available, though not in stock, the rest dont seem to be.

https://botland.store/ has "shipping all across the EU" in the top banner

Thanks, I'll check them out!

The usual suspects for parts that come to mind are:

  • mouser.com
  • rs-online.com
  • digikey.com

And possibly a bit cheaper, but with less stock:

  • lcsc.com
  • tme.eu

It seems mouser and tme between them have all I need for now. Thats assuming the KAMOD BLUEPILL+ (WLUTOWANE ZŁĄCZA) they offer is compatible with the original blue pills and is of the same quality.

I would honestly assume so, they're a reputable seller as far as I know

I'll check them out, thanks! I'm aware of tme.eu but I had the feeling its better to order bulk from them because of the shipping cost (I think last item I checked on them the shipping was more than the item), and also when I checked for the BNO085 they had the SMD variant, while I need the breakout board to more easily work with it for arduino while im learning.
