Happy to answer that question! In the end it's a numbers game. Manufacturing gets cheaper with higher demand. For 6 layers the demand is rather low. We've figures from a US PCB comparison site and the share of 6 layers and more is

KiCad provides a handy Plugin and Content Manager to find and install plugins and other extensions. However, beside the official KiCad repository, which is regulated, it is nearly impossible to provide a self-hosted repository. This applica

KiCad Pcbnew files contain all required footprints etc., unlike the schematic files you need no libraries or such. Creating Gerber files is sometimes hard as different fabs require different Gerber files. Starting with the file extension en

As I noticed some interest here, I'd like you to test the PCB service. Use coupon code 'hn102016' on checkout to get a 15% discount on your order. Would be happy to get some feedback on the PCB quality!

On the page is a pricing calculator, just scroll down a bit. As I said we're trying to get a low price on low quantities, if you only need 3 PCBs (e.g. for prototyping) we're cheaper than DirtyPCBs.

Yeah, we met back in 2015 I guess! Will you be there in 2017? Would you be interested in some exchange over 1clickbom? We noticed that a platform for OSHW without making the actual hardware available is kinda useless. That's why we sta

Shameless plug here, we're just working on getting a PCB & assembly service like Seeedstudio to Europe. What we're trying to achieve is to get close to prices from China but with zero quantities. That means you don't have

It has gerber-to-svg as an dependency, so I'm curious what it actually adds to this.

Obviously no way to build these PCBs by hand, 4 layer and a lot of hard to solder parts. BOM cost for the controller is about 100USD. https://aisler.net/googlecreativelab/anypixel/controller-r3 https://

Do you know if this is somehow possible using OpenWRT? Would be great to have a life updating view of all connected Wifi devices including bandwith usage / limit and so on.
