Description

One of the biggest steps in building a new hardware project is choosing the components. We spend a lot of time searching components online and their pricing using online tools such as "FindChips".

The Lazy Chip Search chrome extension makes this step a little easier by adding a right click menu item that searches "FindChips" for the selected item.

Details

Lazy chip search is a chrome extension that can help in searching electronic components and getting datasheets using your favorite websites such as :

Sparkfun
Adafruit
Tindie
Aliexpress

How It Works

Select the chip part number that you would like to search. Right click and choose "LazySearch". That is it !!
Once a chip part number is selected, press the middle click on your mouse. The part number datasheet will open in a new tab.

I created a bug for this https://bitbucket.org/HishamDaou/lazy-chip-search/issues/4/add-ebay. I am also planning to make the list editable by the users so they can enter their own search providers. Thanks
