<br>
I have been asked to make a small electronic device.  I have<br>
instructions, but the supplies are sourced from US or UK companies,<br>
which of course incur heavy shipping and exchange-rate taxes.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a source for electronics gear (I'll need a bluetooth<br>
LE module, a Wixel, battery, resistors, heat-shrink tubing, a small<br>
enclosure, soldering iron, etc) in Canada, or someone you've had good<br>
experiences with?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
