What the hell do you expect, my man?
I'm asking if anyone knows if there are clone pcbs anywhere.
Also, $15 is not a reasonable price for a single ~8cm by ~8cm pcb anywhere. The youth group has around 20 kids in it. I'm not pulling $300 from the club funds for something like this.
Also, how is it stealing if he's not producing them anymore anyway? I thought his politics were known by now anyway, but I dropped him when he did his little Pro "Freedom Convey" towards the end of Covid. I later found out he thought his daughter racial slurs.
you could probably copy such pcb in kicad pretty quickly anyway just by looking at it, or even better with easier and more practical method and material for this job.
take a peek at thingiverse and you could probably find something cool you can get 3d printed for less than custom pcbs would cost you.
My plan B is to make the copy myself, but I'll need to learn kicad to do it.
And part of the goal of this is to do a soldering exercise of some sort. We've been doing working with an Elegoo kit for the past few months, which is screw assembly and software. I try and keep things varied in the club.
