Hi guys + girls

I want to dive into making some hardware. I am not an electronics nerd but I fancy making (or at least attempting to / learning in the process) a basic version of a device that would usually cost upwards of £500 (A motorcycle intercom, see below for more info).

I want to know whether there are any specific sites (other than Maplins) that I should be looking at to purchase components, I have had a look at how to create my own PCB (although a breadboard will be sufficient whilst I am testing)... the main component I am after is a bluetooth chip to take the audio from my TomTom and output it to two pairs of earpieces.

Also are there any decent electronics forums that you could suggest should I have any problems?

Any way... proceed to ridicule me




More info:

The device I am trying to make will simply take audio in from a number of sources (1x bluetooth, 2x 3.5mm jack, 2x microphone) and output then to two pairs of ear pieces.
