Drill Files and solder mask layers.
Gerbers and BOM is added, it needs to be checked what is still required for automated assembly
When this will be available?
@dellsam34 It already is available, if you mean when will 1-click ordering of the PCB fabricated will be available, then well that will be after Chinese newyears as all the fabs are closed currently, and the tedious BOM price adjustments are not finished, due to minimum order quantities of items like the DIP switches.
Will the order include a fully assembled unit or the buyer has to tackle the manufacturing process?
Fully assembled main PCB, all you will have to do is just cut two pins and push on the fx3 USB board, firmware is loaded in live which makes everything very software side fire and forget configurable, but a second revision may have it all just integrated into a single PCB, a plug & play device with a GUI software later down the line etc
There will be an announcement when it's available and setup docs are completely finished for end users, it's essentially the same procedure as a Domesday Duplicator but without the manually flashing 2 boards part very friendly to anyone that can read a single page guide.
That will also be a guide for manually soldering as it will still most likely be cheaper just to buy your own BNC connectors and solder than paying a fab to source the parts which considering the price of the tooling currently it's not an unreasonable thing for most people to do for THT parts 10 seconds of effort.
