Back. Bad party at my place but drones don't build themselves. Again usual 
disclaimer, I'm not saying if this thing will actually work at this point 
(the suspense is killing me).

But what we do up is a "Bill of Materials". You will leave your nervousness 
about this behind you and understand what a BOM is. Its just a list. How I 
do mine is with paper catalog that I keep next to my toilet because I'm a 
dyed-in-the-wool nerd and love to study up on relay current ratings while 
doing my business. Unfortunately, those tree-huggers (I eat granola myself 
btw) down at DIgikey don't print catalogs anymore, so we gotta use the 
online version.

You just write down the part numbers and then transcribe to your 
spreadsheet, a la here. OK I guess I attached it to this message this time. 
And don't be asking what extension it is. I will have you all know that 
Larry Ellison is all our buddy and a fine, fine man, and you should use 
OpenOffice (or Libre or whatever they call it). OK, ok, I guess Excel will 
open it.

Notice the part numbers (so you can just pump it into mouser's or digikey's 
e-commerce system right quick), a quick description and the almighty price 
(it is the Great Recession, most of us aren't made of money, I know I'm 
not) complete with quantities. I also decided to do my restock and just 
added the resistor values I needed for my current project.

Always remember periodic backups.
