components - Long-lasting electronics items



I am trying to find long-lasting items -- to buy in bulk. The idea is to order them for a lifetime. What are long-lasting electronic items? Which items are good idea to stock? I have tried to get ideas from this discussion.


==== YES List ====


No staling



  1. prototyping tools: breadboards


Good idea (?)



  1. 1M resistors


  2. 1k-10k resistors


No evaporation but better items may be developed, takes little room



  1. ceramic caps

  2. op amps: LM741,

  3. temperature sensors: DS18B20

  4. transistors such as BC547C


==== NO LIST ====



Moving parts, no lubrication, can get jammed



  1. pots


Modern technology



  1. FPGAs


Absorbs moisture, evaporates




  1. rosin (DIY when you need with denatured alcohol+pine cones)

  2. electrolytic caps


==== HEAVY LIST ====


Must be ordered as bulk via sea to ge cheaply, long-lasting



  1. Antistatic mat (55 RMB/1m^2, like this, but 3kg per pc. In Chinese, 防静电台垫 防静电桌垫 防静电胶皮)

  2. solid 1000' 22AWG spools (red and black)

  3. stranded 100' 22AWG spools

  4. PCB stand


  5. Magnifier glass table things such as this (in Chinese, 20倍放大镜 带灯放大镜 折叠式放大镜 台式放大镜LT-86C 20X)

  6. Ultrasonic cleaners (such as these. In Chinese, 数码型不锈钢超声波清洗机)

  7. Cabinets, lockets -- (like these)

  8. Soldering stations such as this (in Chinese, 双数显热风枪带烙铁 热风拆焊台 超)

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
