Ren16 BOM questions

[ctmal]

Hi there. I'm looking at mouser.com to order parts and I've got a couple quick questions.

The BOM on the Wiki lists the part 512-H11AA1 but it is discontinued. Is 782-H11AA1 the suggested replacement?(I've seen others asking this but couldnt find the answer.

Also, there is are alot of parts that are listed as optional. Since I'm new to this I don't know whether I should install all the optional parts or leave them out?

Thanks,
Chris

look to be compatible.

Excellent, thanks. Now I can go ahead and order my parts. I'm assuming I should install all the optional parts so unless I hear differently I'll order them all.

On a funny note, I just roped my brother into getting involved. Now we're going to work together and see how it turns out.
