Shopping list – parts and where to find them

We’ve collected enough information to buy the parts we’ll need. Let us see what exact parts I recommend.

You bought parts in Chapter 1, and used some of these items in previous chapters. However, you should still have stock of the following:

• Standoff kits with 2 mm, 2.5mm, and 3 mm standoffs, bolts, and screws
• 2.54 mm pitch straight breakaway single-row headers

I then recommend the following additional parts:

• The Adafruit 2742 BNO055 IMU
• The Adafruit Bluefruit LE UART Friend ADA 2479 module
• 2 x Pimoroni PIM373 VL53L1X Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor breakouts
• Male-to-female extension jumper wires
• 30 mm PVC right-angle cover trim

• A medium hacksaw or tenon saw to cut the cover...
