Sorry to hear about your experience with DigiKey. I thought they might charge a handling fee on smaller orders, I thought I mentioned it.
I sort of have a love/hate relationship with them myself. They carry just about everything, and their order processing is kind of amazing. I swear they can pick,pack, and ship an order of 50 completely different components in less time than it takes me to find a matching pair of socks. But their prices are on the high side. Over time though, they've proven to be super convenient more than once, and the time it can save from having to search through multiple sites can be significant.
But man, paying that much shipping on that small of an order does really stink, sorry.
Mouser is pretty good. Jameco is good for a smaller selection of stuff.
Anyway, can't wait to see your monitor setup when its complete.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I'm still using an old AT power supply to drive my motor. It was originally just going to be for testing, but is still going strong 4 yrs later :)
Oh, and the same bridge circuit can be modified to handle more current if needed just by using bigger TIP transistors, I think there is a mention of it on the page.

Wow, that sucks. Reminds me when I purchased a $15 monitor bezel with happs... then ended up they charged me 30 for shipping... and I don't even think I knew until it got here (was a while ago)
My most recent shipping complaint was I bought my wife a pearl (natural pancake black) necklace for sweetest day. It was 5 days early, so I payed the 10 bucks extra for overnight shipping... Well, last night I got an email saying they shipped it... WTF?

Digi-key is a great resource but they do charge a $5.00 handling fee for orders under $50. It makes sense from a business stand point though. Imagine what their warehouse must look like. The have hundreds of thousands of parts that are small and have to pick, pack, and ship. If you order only a few parts they probably do not make money on the order.
Looking forward to following this thread. I plan on a rotating project very soon myself.
Good luck! :cheers:
