    Electrical bits - Resistors

    I'm pretty new to electronics but am having a blast learning pics and stuff. So far I've only used picaxe project boards which come with all the bits I need but I'd like to expand a bit and am looking at buying a "multipack" of resistors to have all the right bits for whatever I might do. this...

    Solenoid valves - picaxe controlling fluids

    Hello, I did a search on this but didn't find what I needed. I'm looking for low voltage CHEAP solenoid valves to control water, anyone know of a good source for them, ideally UK based? Of the ones I've seen, most are either 240v or 12v, I'd like to find something to run from the same 5volts...
