# Core Electronics

> Core Electronics is an Australian maker-electronics retailer and manufacturer based in Newcastle, NSW, run by a team of makers and educators. We design and manufacture our own product lines (PiicoDev, CE originals) and are official retailers for iconic maker and industrial brands including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Adafruit, SparkFun and DFRobot. Orders ship Australia-wide from our Newcastle warehouse. Prices are in AUD and include GST. This file maps the fastest lane for each kind of question.

## Products (live data — use these before asking)

- Any product as markdown: append `.md` to its URL — live price, stock, dispatch estimate, quantity discounts, linked guides. Append `.plain.md` for the product document without this agent envelope.
- Search the catalogue: `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` — the first page is the sharpest-ranked cut and every page ends with a result count; a full warm-cache page offers a next-page link (pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; cold lookups serve a single page). URL-encode the query; the `search.md?q={query}` form also works, but robots parsers that ignore Allow rules refuse query strings on this site.
- Build a cart: `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items={SKU}:{qty},{SKU}:{qty}` — share the link; opening it shows a confirmation page before anything is added. Verify first via `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/{SKU}:{qty},{SKU}:{qty}.md` — append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`, e.g. `/to/NZ:0600`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination (live prices inc & exc GST, stock, dispatch, totals). Checkout is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step.
