I am looking to start a kit, I need so far, LEDS, Input audio, power supply, the actual motherboard, the OS to program things. I need to program the leds to blink for certain things, and i need the audio in to record speech to text. Am i missing any components?  So far it is, The pi2/os/audiocard, i am not quite sure what to use for the leds. I dont know where to buy the power supply.

    How are you wanting to power the Pi? Using a wall wart, batteries or other source of power? If you are looking at wall wart and store that carries cell phones should have the right power supply. Be sure to get something 2 Amps or better.

    You should also get some resistors to prevent the LEDs damaging the RPi.
