BOM and sourcing components #3
Comments
|
Just a heads up, the MIKROE-1120 is US Only from Mouser and DigiKey. |
|
That's definitely a good note. I didn't specifically look for availability per country, but it's likely wise. I imagine there's a similar battery for other countries, but we may have to search for it some more. |
|
Hi @mandreko , I've added a BOM to the project now: |
|
If anyone in Europe is looking to sell an assembled one, I'm interested. |
|
For those trying to source the CH340C, I just ordered some from this aliexpress vendor. Fingers crossed they're legit and work, but it was only $8 total, so it's worth a shot. |
|
If anyone would sell assembled PCB's i would be interested. 3D Printing is not a problem. |
|
Did R1,R38,R39,R40 get removed? I don't see them in the BOM.csv file. |
@moserja Good that you noticed, R37 was missing as well. Should be fixed now. |
|
Is there any way to subscribe to see when somebody decided to sell a ready made pcb (in the EU)? I'd love to have one of those, but my attempts at smt soldering have been very fruitless so far. |
|
@dekiesel If something comes up, I will definitely post it on Hackaday.io and Twitter. |
|
I'd also be very interested in buying an assembled PCB.. had a look on tindie.com, but nothing yet :) |
|
@JediMongoose Give it a couple weeks, and there likely will. I’ll be at least buying components for enough boards to put up there in small quantities. (US based) |
I ended up here due to the hackaday feature (https://hackaday.com/2023/07/15/hackaday-prize-2023-omote-universal-remote/) - I'm sure there'll be more 😄 |
|
I'm doing a struggle to see if I can get PCB's made and see how impossible this is to solder myself. I've never done more than through-hole so this should be interesting. I have an immediate need for at least 2 of these, ideally expanding them with a hub when that is finalized. Also would love to help in any way! My life is a void now that Logi dropped Harmony. |
|
If it’s helpful, I’ve purchased the PCBs and components for about 10x remotes. Once they come in, I’m more than happy to build some for others. I enjoy soldering. |
|
I would do the same but don't have the funds to buy so many 😕 |
|
I will also have a few boards that I will have left over, but they will not have the screen or battery installed. Those are easy additions though. |
|
I will have 4 pcbs left over from the batch I ordered.if someone wants one and is willing to buy the components I can solder them. I'm from the US |
I would be interested. I'm also in the US. what would be the best way to contact you? |
I'm interested in buying a populated PCB, and willing to pay in advance if required. I live in Sydney, Australia if you're willing to post to Aus |
|
It would be helpful if the people that are offering to help others would say where they are located. |
|
I'm also in Australia if anyone is selling partially or fully assembled PCBs. Or if anyone has uploaded it to PCBWAY or another service? |
Hey! I'm located in the US and am happy to buy a pcb in whatever state it is currently in so no additional work for you. I'm happy to source and populate whatever components aren't already there. Thanks so much! Feel free to dm me! Amazing project by the way!!! |
|
Anyone has already ordered the PCB from JLCPCB? |
|
I ordered them from jlcpcb, I should get them today. I will let you know how it goes. I didn't add any special settings, and got the stencil as well as the pcbs. |
|
Great, looking forward to hear from you |
I did nothing special. I just have them the gerber file and they look perfect. I’ll be soldering them once my last component arrives soon. |
|
Looks good. |
To be honest I received the PCBs but didn't even check if they work. Give me a week to check. Please ping me if I don't respond by then |
|
@gacekk Thank yo very much! When you know the shipping cost, let me know the complete price, you want to have. You can also get me directly under [email protected] |
|
@gacekk I'm very interested too. Based in the Netherlands, so hopefully postage should be reasonable. |
|
Anyone have any of these PCBs still? |
|
I have some but I'm in Australia. |
|
Im in Australia Gary (Sorry forgot to mention) |
|
cool. What's your preferred way to message privately and I'll get some posted off to you as soon as possible. |
|
email? or messaging platform? |
|
shoot me a message on [email protected] |
|
done. Thanks mate |
|
maybe try removing the +github tag on that email address, it works for me but i haven't received anything from you as of yet. |
|
Just resent. Hopefully you'll get it now. Thanks |
Hello, already any results? |
Sorry I did not have time. I will check by end of this week. Probably Sunday |
|
Hello, I already go board from one offer on Discord, from Germany. And, I got display from DigiKey. |
Hi, Im in Australia just wondering what files of yours I would need to send to PCBWAY to get them make the PCB board and solder the components needed to it? I can do the battery and screen myself. Also is the 3D printable remote cover available somewhere? Sorry iff this has already been explained. Thanks |
Have you seen this?
Available to buy, ready printed? No, unfortunately not. You need to ask someone to print it for you, if you don't have a printer. |
I have a spare fully populated PCB if you want it, I'm in Sydney, $45+postage - which is what I paid from PCBWAY. Or I can dig out the files I sent when I get home from work if you want to order some. I did have to make some adjustments to orientation of a few parts (this may be fixed now in GitHub?) and substitute the switches as they were not available. I ended up installing Kicad so I could zoom right in to figure out what was going on - never used it before... |

Hi James,I would be interested in purchasing one.- LangSent from my iPhoneOn 31 Jul 2024, at 12:50 PM, tnph ***@***.***> wrote:
Just thought people might be interested to know I just ordered 5 fully populated boards (minus batteries and TFT displays) from PCBWAY and it came to $228.58 AUD which is $145.71 USD. I got a $30 discount for my first order and another $5 discount voucher which randomly popped-up! Seems reasonable...
I too am concerned re component position and orientation so asked them to confirm with me before assembly, and they replied with "We will match component with BOM and board before production. And send you sample picture for confirmation before production".. so I'm a little more confident now..!

OK now I'm getting confused with who's who :-) |
I am from Australia Paul, and would like to purchase a fully populated board from you (sorry about calling you James) Im not sure how to message you or Email you directly. |
|
Hi @LangMCD my email is tnphardy(at)gmaildotcom - translate it to a real email address and send me your details - cheers |
Hi Paul, I have sent you an email |
|
Hi, Also in Australia, JLPCB seem to be short a few components with nothing suitable as a substitute at the moment (Antenna for example). Any of those who are in Aus still have spare populated boards they would be happy to part with? |
Hello, any chance that I still will get an assenbled PCB? :) |
What components are they missing? I have quite a few components (including the chip antenna) spare, I think the only parts I'm missing are the LCDs and batteries but I should have everything else, I'm in Aus, Gold Coast region. Perhaps you could get one mostly assembled then tack on a few parts manually. things like the antenna are pretty easy to hand solder. things like the LCD ribbon connector or SOC take some skill and setup, but most other parts arent too bad. |
|
I managed to source the parts needed. About to order 5 complete boards. Will have 1 or 2 spare (will also order battery and screen for all 5) if anybody is after an assembled board then send me a DM. |
Of course I'm interested. But before a decision I should know: 1. What will be the price of the boards (I guess including battery and display). 2. I'm in Germany. What are the shippingcosts? BTW where are you? :) |
Of course you can get me directly by [email protected] |

and others
Firstly, I love this project. Not just from it's sole purpose, but also for someone trying to learn electronic engineering better. I am studying the PCB to try to figure out how everything was done and the purpose of each yet.
I figured I'd start to build at least one of these. I created a BOM here: https://octopart.com/bom-tool/xXZMKVQA
The issues I have thus far, are:
Can you check that this BOM is correct, or supply one separately, to address issue 1?
For 2, I'm finding that SFH4346 is considered "obsolete" and not readily available anywhere that I can find. I think that SFH4546 might be a replacement, but I'm unsure. Additionally, trying to source the CH340C is tough as far as I can tell outside of LCSC. Is that where you got yours, or did you find it (or an alternative) elsewhere?
Thanks!
