Hi,
is there any place where I could find exact hardware design files? I'd like to design slightly different detection electronics but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

Manufacturer's official website: Many hardware manufacturers provide product technical documents, design documents and specifications on their official websites. These files often provide detailed information about the product, including schematics, PCB design files, bills of parts, and more. You can find information about the product you're interested in by checking the manufacturer's official website.

Open source hardware communities: There are several open source hardware communities dedicated to sharing hardware design files. For example, both the Arduino community and the Raspberry Pi community provide a wealth of open source hardware design files and resources. You can browse the websites or forums of these communities to find the design files you need or communicate with others.

Open source hardware projects: There are some well-known open source hardware projects, such as those certified by the Open-source Hardware Association (OSHWA), which expose hardware design files and related documentation and resources. By participating in these projects, you can obtain high-quality and verified hardware design files.

GitHub and other open source code hosting platforms: Many hardware designers and engineers host their open source hardware projects on platforms like GitHub. You can search for a specific type of hardware design project and view the corresponding repository to find design files and related resources.

Academic research papers: Some academic research papers provide detailed hardware design information, including circuit diagrams, schematics, and design ideas. You can consult academic journals or conference papers in related fields to find information related to the design you are interested in.

Whichever path you choose, make sure you follow the appropriate license requirements and usage guidelines. Carefully read the relevant licenses, and follow the usage guidelines and regulations provided by the open source community or hardware manufacturers.

Hope this information helps you!

Totally irrelevant to this project.

Directory was probably being created by Egon or Tonuonu, but was not populated and 1st class Forum users can not be directly messaged. So we hope they read this and upload PCB22 files.

After we see new version schematics and BOM we can decide to stick with 20.6 or try to assemble 22.
If I remember correctly, Tonuonu is working on testing the PCB_22 design. There was some issues with the first batch.
Hi there!
It's a long time since I reached Blitzortung and now I have serious wills to deploy one in my roof, since I do not plan to move again. I have checked PCB layout and schematics for a System Blue 20.7, as png, but I did not find gbr file to build the PCB easily. Is it possible to get a xls, txt or csv file with BOM, and a gerber file of the pcb, to be able to build it easily? I have limited skills on electronics, but will give me a lot of fun building it myself.
Cheers,
Frank
