Bill of materials for schematics folders #58

Closed Guy559 closed 6 months ago

Have been following this repo for past month or so. Amazing work and thank you for the resource.

Would it be possible to add a BOM to each schematics folder? I'd like to ensure I'm ordering the proper SOT pieces for the ESP8266 D1 Wemos boards that I'm having printed for my home openers. I can find plenty of resistors but, frankly, don't know if I should be snagging 1/4W, 1/10W, etc.

A simple BOM to go with each latest schematic would go a long way to supporting those of us who know just enough to be dangerous...

Thanks!

Very delayed response here, but from the perspective of resistors we're talking very low power so 1/2 a watt or less is fine. A BoM is essentially derived from the schematics, so I don't want anyone to have to maintain both schematics and the BoM based on that. There will be schematic updates for sure, meaning that a BoM would also need to be updated.
