Best place to buy Raspberry Pi components?
Very new, day two, into the world of Raspberry Pi and Python.

I’m looking for a good place to pick up some parts to build a small item counter. Power supply, cables, display. It’s probably ambitious but I have help. I’ll be using Python 3.7 on a Win 10 machine.

My two thoughts are counting as the part goes through a tube or a weight based count. The weight may not be accurate enough, but maybe.

When I built my Raspberry Pi w/ a touch screen I got the parts between Microcenter and Amazon. I bought all of the RPi parts from Microcenter and then bought the aftermarket enclosure from Amazon.

Here is a video showing the same enclosure being built: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKPiMRUO1yE

And here is the enclosure: https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod..._title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Microcenter & Amazon as mentioned already.

May also have luck using Adafruit or Sparkfun.
