Appendix C - BOM #
OpGuides is free. Unfortunately all the tools and programs you’ll need to follow along aren’t necessarily. While you probably could do everything in this guide without getting the things in this Bill OF Materials (BOM) it will massively help to have it.
I’ll do my best to keep the cost as low as possible though. If you need help confirming something in your cart is correct just hit me up.

Solid Core wire | Optional | |
Breadboard | 10/3pcs, don’t cheap out. Cheap ones super suck. These are decent. | 3 should be plenty, but more if you’ll have more in-progress projects |
Proto PCB | 12 ish, but varries Something like this, which has pre connected lanes like a normal breadboard is nice | ╮(─▽─)╭ depends on how many projects you want to keep |
Buttons | 7/50pcs | ~32 (They break easily) |
DIP Switches | 8/5pcs ish, get 4 or 8 switch blocks or a variety pack | at least 32 total switches |
7-segment display | 1.5/IC For learning, get the raw pins, not the multi modules. | Optional |
tiny OLED display | 6 ish, varries by size and pixel count. | Optional |
Accelerometer | 4 ish, varries by accuracy and other features | Optional |
Servo | Depends on size and what you want to do with it. Just to learn, a 2 ‘micro servo’ is fine. | Optional |
Relay board | 6 ish for a 4 relay traditional relay board not a significant difference to go for Solid State relays, which are much quieter and faster switching | Optional |
Lab Power Supply | 35 for a shit, 300ish for something multi channel and nice As with the OScope, it’s up to you on the investment | 1, 2 optional |
Soldering Iron (TS100) | 75 (full kit) | |
Solder | 9/spool. Varies in quality, you get what you pay for. You’ll want to make sure it’s pretty thin. | |
Flux | 10 or so. Varies in quality, you get what you pay for. | |
Osciliscope | 30 for a shit, 350 for a good one, not really an in between :( | Optional-ish |
Multimeter | 35 | |
Logic Analyzer | 10 for a cheap Saleae logic clone, ~65 for a good one obviously you can spend as much as you want for more channels or faster reads | 1 |
Software Defined Radio | 150ish for a HackRF or Lime Mini | optional |
Proxmark3 | very optional | |
TOTAL | BASE ;OPTINONAL |
Also we’re going to be building a little server, for this you’ll want

OR
You can find a used Dell Poweredge r610 or poweredge 1950. Many of these will come with out drives, but this option is probably cheaper than the above for better specs. However; these servers are LOUD, loud enough to not be comfortable in the same room and absolutely drink power. As mentioned in the server section, the hardware you use really doesn’t matter, you’ll just want at least two hard drives, an OS drive, and multiple network interfaces are encouraged. These things can all be added to just about any desktop though, so going to electronics thrift stores or auctions and finding a desktop works too.
