heres a tip:
save up money, make a list of what you want to buy,
then spend between 50-100 bucks on stuff.
saves you ALOT on shipping, and sparkfun doesent have a minimum purchase order, so you could order a capacitor for .10 $ and pay 10 bucks shipping, and theyd gladly send it to you, but shipping will truly make all the parts you buy WAY over cost, so save money by combining shipping.
i already spent 50 bucks on shipping on 300 dollars worth of stuff ( bought at seprate times ) and it probably would have cost me 12 bucks if i save all the money and bought everything together, so heres a heads up!!
