hello great project and seen this on LTT and want to build this great project. However i have never ordered hobbyists pcbs. whom are you using for this project? i wouldn’t mind ordering a few boards if others want to go in or if you have some boards left over buy from you. please let me know. i have ordered pico and screen.

Hey man, I just ordered 5 pcbs yesterday for total of 3$ incl. shipping from jlcpcb.com. You just download the PCB zip from this github dir and you upload the zip to the jlcpcb website. That’s basically all, it’s easy.

you didn't need to get it assembled/attach a BOM? that's my current problem. I know how up upload the Gerber files to jlcpcb, but I wasn't sure if I needed it assembled as well

No i don’t need any assembly. I am a RF Engineer by trade so this will be easy.

I've never done anything like this before or ordered a pcb before, so not even sure if the pads to solder too are built into the board or not. If I want this usb pcb to be ready to go, out of the box, ready to be assembled with the raspberry, screen, and usb port, which Delivery Option do I select between 'Single PCB', 'Panel by Customer' and 'Panel by JLCPCB' ?
