- 2000 misc electronic components £27.00 - buy this - you won't necessarily need it for the nanoCPU but it's a must buy for learning. You want to fix a problem, you google it, you learn, you find you've already got the part you need.
- Cheapest DIP switch (for Dippy) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Description-Red-Blue-2-54mm-Pitch-8-Bit-Ways-Slide-Type-DIP-Switch-BSG/122908895186
Don't try skimping on either the PSU or the memory card, especially the memory card. I had two cheaper ones get corrupted after days/weeks of use.
Booting it up: - Install latest Raspbian.
- apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade - safest to upgrade now.
- apt-get install emacs-nox (wiring-pi is already installed)
- If you know how to, NFS mount your home directory from a linux server. That way whatever you do your work is safe.
