Hi Lindasay,

Two good places for soldering supplies and electronic parts for
prototyping are Jameco and Digikey. DK carries PIC controllers.

Call and ask for their catalogs. Jameco is a little cheaper, I think,
and their catalog is in color, so you can actually see what it is
you are buying. The readability of the DK catalogs is getting worse
with each new catalog.

www.jameco.com    1-800-536-4316
www.digikey.com   1-800-344-4539
