@copilot Use python to plot a bar graph showing the most expensive parts in this project. Also, recommend alternatives for those parts in a table format

Let's start by extracting the prices for each part. We'll create a dictionary containing the part numbers and their prices, then plot a bar graph to visualize the most expensive parts.
Next, we'll compile a table of alternatives for the most expensive parts with their prices and availability.
Let's proceed step by step:
  1. Extract prices from the provided data.
  2. Plot a bar graph showing the most expensive parts.
  3. Provide alternative suggestions in a table format.
I'll start by extracting the given price information and creating the necessary plot.

Here is the bar graph showing the prices of the main ICs used in your project.
Based on the chart, the most expensive IC by far is the LoRa-E5 module (STM32WLE5JC), followed by the XIAO RP2040. Below is a table with recommendations for potential alternatives for these parts:

To obtain the prices for each main IC in your project and plot a bar graph showing the most expensive ICs, we'll follow these steps:
  1. Extract the prices for each main IC from the available stock and prices information.
  2. Use Python to create a bar graph.
  3. Provide recommendations for alternatives in a table format.
Let's start by gathering the prices:
  • XIAO RP2040 U6U6: 102010428
    • Price: $4.68
  • LoRa-E5 STM32WLE5JC U4U4: 317990687
    • Price: $6.83
  • RS485 Transceiver IC2IC2: SP3485EN-L/TR
    • Price: $0.36906
  • Buck Converter U1U1: RT8059GJ5
    • Price: $0.14089
  • Power Switch U3U3: SY6280AAAC
    • Price: $0.0977
  • Battery Charger IC U2U2: CN3063
    • Price: $0.5507
  • Boost Converter IC1IC1: MT3608L
    • Price: $0.0398
Now, let's use Python to create a bar graph with these prices:

Python


import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Names of ICs
ic_names = ["XIAO RP2040 (U6)", "LoRa-E5 (U4)", "RS485 Transceiver (IC2)", 
            "Buck Converter (U1)", "Power Switch (U3)", 
            "Battery Charger IC (U2)", "Boost Converter (IC1)"]

# Prices of ICs
ic_prices = [4.68, 6.83, 0.36906, 0.14089, 0.0977, 0.5507, 0.0398]

# Plotting the bar graph
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.bar(ic_names, ic_prices, color='skyblue')
plt.xlabel("IC Names")
plt.ylabel("Prices ($)")
plt.title("Prices of Main ICs in the Project")
plt.xticks(rotation=45, ha='right')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
Next, I'll recommend alternatives for each of these parts:

From the graph, you can see that the most expensive ICs are the LoRa-E5 U4U4 and the XIAO RP2040 U6U6.
To help you optimize the cost, I have prepared a table recommending alternatives for these main ICs:
