The following parts list should serve as a general guideline for building an arduinome. We are in the process of making sure this list is 100% complete, so there may be one or two things missing right now. Some of the totals do not reflect all parts– please make sure to read the comments and special instructions. Thank you.

| 64 | *LED’S | *See note below | ||
| 1 | *RESISTOR | *See note below | ||
| Total | Does not include shipping, or parts labeled with “*” | $20.33 |
* Resistor value is determined by the type of led you use. It sets the maximum potential current to the leds. See http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/MAX72XXHardware for more info
** I highly recommend purchasing a few extra of everything here
*** Shield resister network (10-pin) only needs the first nine. Either bend the 10th resistor pin out of the way, or cut it off the end. DO NOT remove the pin closest to the “dot”

All Electronics is located in Van Nuys, California and we shop there all the time. If you are in the Los Angeles + greater area we highly recommend organizing a carpool and going there!
Arduinome Shield
Shields can be purchased from the suggested supplier in the US 4PCB.
To purchase your shield from 4pcb, just ask for order number #4pcb_Owen.
We have worked out a deal which gives you 4 boards + 1 free for $33 each (does not include shipping and handling)
Total = $132 + shipping and handling
We spoke with Ryan Schlecht (ryan@4pcb.com), and you may wish to speak with him as well. 800-979-4722 ext. 1304
*** People have been organizing group buys for the shields to minimize costs, and we recommend you do the same for the sake of $$ and more importantly, to stay true to the amazing ethics & manufacturing ideologies of Monome. To start a new group buy, or to join an existing group order, please hop aboard http://post.monome.org
