Jimmy, thanks for the suggestion. I have used them before. The nice feature is their kits are well documented etc. I have bought their RS-232 level shifter board and some other stuff from them.
If it helps, I am looking more for an electronic design kit that has a vanilla assortment of analog, linear, SMTs, through hole components. I could easily just go on digikey and spend sometime on there but wanted to support the smaller guys like the adafruits, and sparkfuns of the hobby industry.
Thanks
