Mouser BOMs with better parts quality?

zgrav said:
now that we are on page 11 for this winding thread, and sort of following up on the discussion about how the hobby has changed for newcomers over the last month/year/decade(s), let's not overlook the possibility that AI may be able to help put together an order if you provide a parts list. Here is what Chatgpt said when I asked about this possibility:
If you provide the full parts list (BOM — bill of materials) and notes like:


  • Resistor types (e.g., "Use 1/8 watt metal film resistors unless otherwise specified")
  • Capacitor preferences (ceramic vs film vs electrolytic, voltage ratings, tolerances)
  • Transistor and IC types
  • Potentiometer values and formats
  • Jacks, enclosures, switches (e.g., 3PDT footswitch), etc.

I can then:


  1. Normalize the list into a clear table with part types, values, and specs.
  2. Match each item to Mouser part numbers using their current catalog.
  3. Output a ready-to-order list (CSV or just a copy-paste table with Mouser links).

Please paste your parts list and any notes or preferences (for part types, brands, tolerances, etc.), and I’ll get started.

Save that for the veterans, the new guys can earn their stripes like we did. 😂
 
Wow. I only just discovered this thread, and I too come from the world of amp building. But I guess I'm not as entitled or privileged. What a nutbag! If Mr Tablebeast is as clever as he thinks he is then surely he can work a few things out for himself? As Robert says, there is an emphasis on the Y in DIY here! How much hand-holding does a grown up need?? All you need to do is take one look at a finished PCB in the Build Reports section and you'll see what style of parts you need.

I wonder if he expects someone to wipe his ass when he takes a dump?

This was a trip.

Also buddy - playing the autism card? I suspect you'll find a very high proportion of neurospicy people in the pedal building world who don't carry on like absolute pork chops :LOL:

Exactly. Don't drag my good name into your confrontative spectacle, sir!
 
OP is gonna be really pissed when he orders from Mouser and THEN realizes he forgot something or when his super circuit bending buddy starts frying his expensive superior Mouser parts. I hope he comes back tho. Did we ever find out what he likes on his hot dogs?
