Getting PHCC
You have two options:
- build it yourself
- Buy it
Buying it
I occasionally sell boards and/or kits. Sometimes even completely pre-soldered and tested systems. But due to the open nature, others can sell boards and kits themselves. Here is a list of people that sell PHCC boards/kits/systems:
- 'AiRdAncE' has an online store here: http://www.checksix.nl/catalog/
- Also check the forum threads about ordering boards/kits at http://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php?board=73.0
Building it
All the designs are freely available for download, so you can etch your own boards, or have the boards professionally made at a PCB production facility. Or you can buy boards at one of the above mentioned vendors. Then buy all the parts (see the Bill of Materials files for each board) and solder everything together. Board assembly tutorials are available for several boards.

This section explains how to put the parts together. Soldering may be required. |
