Hunting for supplies

First of all, sorry for the delay in my next post. I've been very busy with life and have not had much time to work on the project. I have however been able to locate a great supplier for the electronic components for the HyTronics Module.

Those of you in South Africa will know what I'm talking about when I say that finding suppliers for some of the parts needed can be difficult. Knowing where to look makes a big difference however, and this is partly my motivation for this blog. I'm hoping that it will go both ways though, and I'd really appreciate any help if anyone knows where to find some of the stuff we need.

Back to the electronics. I found an awesome supplier in Cape Town called Communica:


108 Albert Rd
Woodstock
Cape Town
7925

Tel : (021) 447-0949
Fax : (021) 447-0959


They usually only sell in bulk to businesses but were more than happy to sell me what I needed and were very helpful! The one guy sat with me and deciphered all of the circuit diagrams and wrote up a list of what I needed and it all came to only a few hundred Rand. I spent a bit more because I also bought a soldering iron and some other equipment but they have some great specials and if you're new to all this and also need to stock up on your inventory this is the place to go!

All in all, its a great place with very helpful people and I highly recommend it to anyone getting involved in this project.

With regard to the rest of the supplies, I will be checking out a place called Andrag Agrico:


ANDRAG (PTY) LTD
PO Box 364
La Belle Rd
BELLVILLE
7535

Tel: +27 (0)21 950-4111
Fax: +27 (0)21 919-1184


They specialise in irrigation systems and I'm hoping to find that they can supply me with the CPVC supplies. If anyone knows of a better place or have been to Andrag please let me know. I will post an update as soon as I have procured the next item. Until then, good luck and happy hunting!
