This is the most arduous process of all. All components must have suitable ratings and must all communicate/interact with each other.
Some websites useful for finding parts and specifications of parts:
# [[/www.mouser.com/|Mouser Electronics]]
# [[/www.digikey.com/|DigiKey]]
Manufacturer sites for even tighter specifications and datasheets:
# [[/www.analog.com/en/index.html|Analog Electronics]]
# [[/www.ti.com/|Texas Instruments]]
# [[/www.st.com/content/st com/en.html|ST Microelectronics]]
When picking parts, also make sure to look for evaluation boards, which are breakout boards for microcontrollers to test that their components work. [[/www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/STM32F411E-DISCO/5131480|Example]]
