Thanks for the reply.
Yeah i though that also, but still there asking things like PNP, I really don't know where the file is.
But however, like i say if i sending all the file
s providing from github.com, you would assuming there know what to do with it?
And that's the thing, there haven't any clue what to do with it.
I send this to 3 PCB company's, first don't response , second and thirty react the same. There asking a lot but in the end there still not knowing what to do.
Ordering a pre-assembled PCB from a PCB manufacturer isn't like ordering a pizza - you have to have a bare minimum of knowledge of what you're doing.
I'm assuming the fabs are asking for a pick-and-place file. I've deliberately not included that on github, and the reason is this:
Often times, one or more components from the BOM (bill of materials) file aren't available at any given time. That however, can be solved relatively easily by changing out the part with another compatible one. If that part has a slightly different footprint you need to account for that in the design before re-creating the gerber files and pick-and-place file.
Like Duffman was saying above - everything you need is available, you just need to spend more than 5 minutes learning how to prepare and submit a PCB order. There are plenty of guides on youtube. Good luck! 😀
Well as much i appreciate the reply ,
I need to be honest that is prettig much useless for people without deep knowledge on this field. It's like a rabbit hol, or asking to reinvent the wheel again.
A. You need first to know which parts can be use and also alternatives, the required basic of all things how everything works technical.
( For most people already hard enough to even begin with, even people that working in repaire of eletronic devices would have problems to understand how it works in the computer part field)
B. Than you need to know how to make a pnp
I missing with all respect the logica to not include it, even if parts are not available.
It's sound better to have something, than to have nothing.
However i found a pcb company that want still to make it. Maybe the price will be higher because of this. The first price offering was totally 954 dollars.
Not everyone has the same skills like you.
And a lot of people would also having a modern msdos motherboard to play with
But to be clear, this was not to insult or be rude to you in anyway. Just a little dissepointment assuming everyone can learn and understand everything just to look into the files.
