## Step 1: Order the PCBs from a PCB production company

We use PCBWay for our boards. You may use them **TODO add PCBWay published PCB link here**, or any other PCB production company. Here are the most important configurations you'll need to communicate to the company:

At some point, you'll have to upload design files to the production company. Send them `/hardware/electricals/production/gerbers.zip` **TODO add this**. That should contain everything you need to get the boards made. If the production company rejects this package, however, you'll need to address the issue yourself.

We estimate that it'll probably cost around $80 to get the boards made, plus shipping.

## Step 2: Order the electronics components
|
||||
|
||||
All of the components are described in the schematics of the PCBs (see `/hardware/electricals/production/base.pdf` and `/hardware/electricals/production/vertical.pdf` **TODO ADD THESE**). Ordering the components is left as an exercise for the reader. Here are a few tips:
|
||||
|
||||
- We used Alibaba to order PMW3360 sensors
|
||||
- Digikey carries all of the other electrical components

- Digikey and Mouser carry all of the other electrical components
