Hey, finally someone in the pittsburgh area who messes around with electronics. I live north of Pittsburgh (about an hour) and thought there was no one in the area into electronics. AS for suppliers, unfortunatly I know of no good electronics suppliers in our area. There is a hobby shop at the Pittsburgh Mills, but it is only good for expensive servos. If I need a part quickly, The only place I know to go is radioshack. If I can wait, I like getting parts online from Sparkfun, Futurlec, and ebay. You can Pm me if you want to calloborate on an arduino or other electronic project. It would be nice to have a Pittsburgh area electronics club.
