[Video] PiStormSTE -- case closed?

[Badwolf]

just trying to order the STE PCBs (assembled), using the shared project at PCBway
It is under review for 2 days now...
Does anybody know, how I reduce the number of assembled boards?

@Badwolf excellent work BTW

Hi there. Cheers!

It may have been delayed a bit as my whole porject itself was under review.

I've never actually ordered one of my own boards from the project page, so not sure how exactly it works, but when I ordered the prototype I normally had a reply within a day. They'd send you a spreadsheet with a quote and you might go back and say 'don't fit that', 'change that part to this', 'reduce quantity assembled to one', or whatever.

Just to give you an idea, I think two part-assembled boards and three blanks cost me about $75.

JLCPCB is probably cheaper, but I don't have a BOM for them. If someone would like to contribute one I'll add it to the project.

I have manually converted the BOM and POS files from the PCBway project for JLCPCB. Everything seems to fit. Two part-assembled boards and three blanks cost about $54, five assembled boards is about $79.

Many thanks. I'm in the process of pushing the files to @dad664npc's main PiStorm Atari github, so I'll include those as I think they'll be more attractive to the bulk buyer.

cool!
PCBway was more than double the price for 5 assembled ones...

Hmm, is there actual "1 stop shop" availability for buying
a completely ready-2-go board and if there is, does it still
have to be in bulk or can you buy single boards?

Thanks.
