Can i get the files for this to have a few made for personal use. im wanting to use PCBway
You may download the Gerbers from Gerber View section.
I would like to build this as well but the PCB manufacturing company is asking for files that I do not see. Thank you.
Download Gerber here: https://www.electronics-lab.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/GERBER-9.zip
how can I buy these boards please?
I got the gerber file, but I wanted to order a presoldered pcb from jlcpcb, can I please get a BOM and Placement file
