Here is a complete BOM for the Fat Controller PCB.  Where people have had trouble finding
parts I have added links to suppliers, and in some cases alternative parts.  If you are having
trouble with a particular part, please just ask () and I will add some more
information here.

Miscellaneous

3    FB1,FB2,FB3                   Radial Ferrite Bead (Rapid 26-4865)
1    J1                            POWER      (4 pin 0.1" pitch Molex KK PCB header
                                               or cheaper equivalent like JYK P2500-xx/H2500-xx)
3    J2,J3,J4                                 (7 pin 0.1" pitch Molex KK PCB header)

1    J7                            Buttons    (5 pin 0.1" pitch Molex KK PCB header
                                               Farnell 176989 and 176444)
1    LCD1                          PC0802-A   (Connector is 14 pin 2mm pitch PCB header, or you
                                               can solder the wires directly.
                                               The LCD is a Powertip PC0802-A 8x2 alphanumeric
                                               display.  If you want a larger display, then get
                                               the PC0802-L.
                                               Available from RS Components 214-3288 & 214-3480
                                               The interface is quite standard, so probably
                                               another 8x2 alphanumeric display would also work
                                               - check the datasheet for the PC0802-A for the
                                               full specifications.)
2    RV1,RV2                       1K      (0.2" x 0.1" pitch multiturn precision trimmer
                                            e.g.
                                            Bourns 3260W 1/4" 11 turn wirewound 70ppm/C
                                            Bourns 3262W 1/4" 12 turn cermet 100ppm/C
                                            Bourns 3266W 1/4" 12 turn cermet 100ppm/C with PCB standoffs to allow washing
                                            Bourns 3296Y 3/8" 25 turn cermet 100ppm/C
                                            I used Bourns 3266W.  The 25 turn Bourns 3296Y
                                            will make adjusting easier and should fit the
                                            PCB - but the clearance between RV2 and U11 will
                                            be tight: looks to be just about ok from the
                                            measurements, but I didn't actually try it myself.)
1    RV3                           10K     (0.2" x 0.4" pitch standard cheap trimmer)
1    X1                            20MHz   (0.2" pitch low profile parallel cut crystal)
