That's a good tip, thanks! I got started with arduino/esp8266 devices a couple of years ago, and mostly then it would have been a case of ordering from China and waiting. It is only recently that I've started needing specific IC pieces to complete an ongoing project, and stalling for 4-8 weeks has become too much of a pain. So I'm not so familiar with component sources, beyond just quick searches!
