Question regarding BOM #82

Closed stapelberg closed 7 months ago

          The "full BOM" excludes the kinT and Teensy, correct? So we need only buy the "full BOM" and the correct Teensy - and we can then print the latest KinT PCB?

The "full BOM" excludes the kinT and Teensy, correct?

Yes. The BOM only contains the components to solder onto the board.

The board itself is not included because there is no octopart entry for it — it needs to be manufactured and can’t be bought from the usual electronics distributors.

The teensy is not included because it’s up to your needs and preferences to select one.

So we need only buy the "full BOM" and the correct Teensy - and we can then print the latest KinT PCB?

Yes.

It sounds like you’re not experienced with these kinds of DIY electronics projects. I recommend finding a local makerspace, hackerspace, fablab, or similar to help out if in doubt.
