# ogx360 - Hardware

This folder contains the schematic and PCB layout files and the PCB Gerber files. These were created using [Autodesk Eagle 9.2.2.](https://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/overview)

I will preface by saying that the design contains *very* small and fine pitch surface mount components. The pictures below are misleading, they are really small. So if you attempt to make one yourself you should be quite proficient in soldering and have a good set of tools and equipment available.

# PCB
The unpopulated PCB can be manufactured from dozens of cheap Chinese fabricators around online. I have used www.elecrow.com, if you use these guys you can optionally use my [referral link](http://www.elecrow.com/referral-program/MTEzNjlqMnQ=/). Just download the [PCB Gerber](https://github.com/Ryzee119/ogx360/tree/master/Hardware/Gerbers) files from this repository, zip them up and upload to their online ordering service. It's like $5 for 5 boards plus extra for shipping.

Use the following PCB parameters:

*2 layers, 98x37mm, 1.6mm thick, HASL, 1oz copper, no castellated holes, any colour you want!*

Alternatively, you can buy the unpopulated PCB directly from OSHPark here, but they're quite expensive: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/FR7744mc

**These will be UNPOPULATED boards!** meaning they will be bare boards and not have any components on them and won't work. Don't email the PCB fab asking where the components are and don't email me asking where the components are. See the Bill of Materials below. They need to be purchased seperately and soldered on yourself. If you pay the PCB fabricator alot more money and provide them the materials list they may do it for you.
