I recently build (last month) two handyboards and spent approximately
$200.- US total. I live in California.
I got the components through various mail order places like: Digikey,
Mouser.
And from local discount surplus electronics store HCS, who buys
overstocked componenets from the Silicon Valley. Very low prices and
all kinds of neat stuff!!!!!
The display I got through Timeline in San Jose for $7.00 ea. The more
difficult parts like the IR sensor IS1U60 and the reset circuit
DS1233-10 I received as samples at 0 cost through FAI Electronics
distributors. (I work at HP).
Boards were purchased through Douglas for ~$30.- US for one set
including the expansion board.
Newark mail order carries the microprocessor MC68HC11A1FN for ~12.-
If you do not live in the US you probably spent a lot on shipping the
stuff, so your best bet may be to just buy a pre-assembled board or a
complete parts kit, I think Douglas does have this service.
Here are some web sites you may look at:
www.newark.com mail order electronics
www.digikey.com mail order
www.mouser.com mail order
www.digisys.net/timeline/ LCD display
www.douglas.com PCB boards, possibly part kits.
I had good success building both and they worked right out of the box,
no hardware errors, your success may very.
Good luck, Bart Schrijver Bart_Schrijver@hp.com

Hi all,
To start with the HB I have to buy one. But where can I get a HB with
an acceptable price?
Or should I buy the components to build the HB myself?
