I'll try to clean up this repository eventually, it's kind of a mess...

The MFG.zip folder contains the gerbers and BOM used for getting these built on PCBWay. You should unzip it and upload the contents where specified on the PCBWay ordering page.

@jpol0006 did you have any luck ordering assembled and working boards? I saw the same Skyentific video, and I am also curious as to how to complete an order for assembled boards. Maybe you could provide some more steps as to what you had to select.

@bgkatz are these boards that should use a 2oz copper?

@androiddrew ... I did, they wanted an insane amount for 10 boards assembled, I uploaded the MFG.zip to define the boards and the centroids file per the online upload thingy, used the total parts numbers from the excel spreadsheet... I priced them up with several different pcb manufacturers and the process was slightly different with each... the lowest quote was around $6,000 , the highest was over $13,000... needless to say the project is on hold since the built boards can be ordered via AliExpress for around $60 each, with a small price break on volume purchases

2 oz is good, 1 oz is okay if you're not pushing them too hard.

Many of the components are out of stock at the moment due to the global chip shortage, so I'm not surprised you're quotes were super high. Normally in qty 10 they cost me about $100 each, and in higher qty about $65 each from pcbway.

@bgkatz I have one of the Chinese motors with one of these boards now, but I can't seem to find a document that outlines how to construct the CAN Bus message. Are there any docs you could point me to? Maybe include it in the README.md too?
