I know this is gonna sound stupid, but i can't find anyone online that sells the right size of tactile switches for the L/R buttons. if it is the right size, then it only has 2 prongs. where did other people get theirs?

I'm just using generic ones that were like $1 for a bag of 50 from amazon.
2 prongs doesn't matter, 4 just makes wiring slightly easier. the ground wires all still connect together and the wires specific to L + R connect to the other prong.
ascii art coming up:

Code: Select all

L-----------------[0]----|
                         |
R-----------------[0]----|
                         |
GND ---------------------|

I think mine are these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/100Pcs-Tactile- ... SwxH1T2z3e and that has just enough button protruding. you might get away with 4.5mm and anything taller will still work, just stick out more, which you might prefer
you could get this:
https://www.amazon.com/Ocr-10Value-Tact ... itch&psc=1 which has all types imaginable...

I found them on ebay, and wound up getting a pack of 10 for $1

Did someone find a seller within europe for blank tin's like from adafruit. I found one seller that sells adafruit tins at amazon but at 7.5€ per tin, it hurts a lot. Adafruit has very expensive shipping rates so i'm stuck. I have already ordered 3 tins from different sellers on amazon but none has the god size.

I have a special idea for decoration and don't want to go the altoid's way because of the emboss

[abrugsch]

marks & spencers tins are the right size and don't emboss. I can send you some. we can swap if you want to #tinitforward

Ooooow how bad, few years ago we had a Mark and spencer at Toulouse, south west of France, but due the a lack of customers, it has closed.
I’ll send you a PM if i mess my Pi Hut tins.
i have ordered 4 but my idea is so complex to make that i’m pretty sure i’ll need at least half a dozen before being able to say i’m satisified By my own work

Thank you Abrugsch !

Here is a full parts list. Some parts can be bought here. Others need to be bought from adafruit/ebay/aiexpress etc...

As for a kit. Maybe try posting on the loking to buy area.

There is also a member here orgamiboy who was selling complete kits. He's sold out though. He may sell more kits in the future.
