[sdiy] meters from farnell

[Danjel van Tijn]

yeah I was just doing simmilar calculations. Also if I choose the ups
option from Farnell it is 16.53UKP but it will arrive here in 3 days.
I think I will just order direct from them but get one or two extra
meters to keep on hand for future builds.

cheers,
Danjel
