Fabrication

The Fabrication folder contains ready-to-order Gerber/drill packages (e.g. HackableDelay v1.1.zip) for the PCB itself. To get a working module you'll also need panel graphics and a parts order.

Ordering the PCB

1. Download the zip for the version you want to build from Fabrication/.
2. Upload it as-is to your fab of choice (e.g. JLCPCB, PCBWay) — no need to unzip, most fab houses accept the zip directly.
3. Recommended settings: 2 layers, 1.6mm thickness, HASL or ENIG finish. Silkscreen/soldermask color is up to you.
4. The zip includes:
   • *-F_Cu.gbr / *-B_Cu.gbr — copper layers
   • *-F_Mask.gbr / *-B_Mask.gbr — soldermask
   • *-F_Silkscreen.gbr / *-B_Silkscreen.gbr — silkscreen
   • *-Edge_Cuts.gbr — board outline
   • *-PTH.drl / *-NPTH.drl — plated/non-plated drill files
   • *-job.gbrjob — job file describing the stackup

Panel graphics

HackableDelay - Front Graphics.svg and HackableDelay - Back Graphics.svg are the faceplate/panel artwork. Individual layer previews (copper, mask, paste, silkscreen, edge cuts) are also available as SVGs in SVG/ if you want to inspect or edit specific layers.

Bill of materials

HackableDelay - BOM.csv lists all components with references, values, footprints, and quantities. HackableDelay - BOM with Shopee Links.xlsx is the same BOM with sourcing links (Philippines/Shopee-specific — substitute equivalents from your preferred supplier). An HTML version is available in bom/.

Older versions

Previous board revisions are kept under Legacy Versions/ for reference; use the files in the repo root and Fabrication/ for the current version unless you specifically need an older layout.
