Thank you! Very helpful. I didn’t know I had to enter the size. That was the major hang up. I feel a lot more confident in ordering now. I might check other pcb places if they are out of too much. I will post if I find something.
Thanks!

yes, no picture and no size detection! It’s a bug of their webpage if the data is bigger. You have to enter the size manually (150x92mm²). Unfortunately you don’t even get a picture of the placements - only one of the parts. But most important: It’s ok what the postman brings to you 
Thanks for the hint - added this information in the Git.
Did you get a preview on the final order? 
I got this error. I put the pick and place file on cpl. Not sure if that was right.
U11 - Nexperia controller looks to be for CANbus.
I get that U2 - FE1.1S is for the USB hub so in my case the only critical part to SMD-solder myself with JLC at this moment.
After uploading BOM and PickandPlace, do we have to manually rotate anything? There is a .ods file with 4 instructions, do we have to follow this with JLC?
From what I can see before saving to cart, the placement of capacitors C31,C32 corresponds with your pictured PCB, so I guess no need for corrections?
From your video I understand the two USB-C’s can’t be used together with the push-in connector types, only with the M12 types?
How would you fix the USB-C connectors to the housing? They seem to be floating on top of a M-connector?
What are you doing for the U18 mma? I understand this is needed for the newer versions.
I can’t find the BOM file to upload to JLC, I have uploaded the Gerber file, it was from 5 days ago, is that the correct file?
Just curious as to where to find the BOM file
HW_for_AgOpenGPS-main\central_unit\production_data\BOM_Central Unit for AgOpenGPS__JLCPCB
That is the one I used. It’s an excel file.
Thanks, I did find the BOM file under the oshw lab link but now the next button doesn’t light up, its like its asking for a cpl file. Ideas
I put the pick and rotate file on cpl to move forward. Not sure if it’s right. Lol maybe someone will help out. @Stabilo
How do I know if I am ordering the one with the connectors on the end or the ones on top of the board?

I would be interested in half dozen also.
Are those connectors something we have to buy separately and solder on? That’s my understanding
Are you thinking of ordering some boards? Is that what you were referring to
I maybe misunderstood your question about connector type. Are the boards the same but we choose and buy the connector type that we solder on ourselves? Either the top or end type.
I don’t know that answer about adding connectors after we get them or if they are installed at factory. I will do some more checking around and try and get an answer. Were you more interested in the connectors on the ends or the connectors more towards the inner part of the board pointing up?
@wwfarm Unfortunately JLCPCB does not assemble any connector so far. But the support told me at least that they’re planning it. So you have to do it yourself. I used liquid solder paste and hot air. You also need patience… Can make a video, if you like

The MMA is still supported, so it is still a good option, but a lot of people prefer to use the CMPS board right now. It is not possible to solder any MEMS by hand unfortunately.
I checked the pick-and-place file for rotation. So I suggest using mine from the Git, because a couple of components had (mentioned in the ODS file) had a wrong orientation in the lib but I already correced it.
Yes, it’s true, JLC will never show a picture of the board itself.
About USB-C: If you’re using the suggested housing, the receptacles are hold by the end plates (and maybe some 2K glue). For other housings you’ll have to adapt that of course.
@Mdmcurt A “cpl file” is a Component Pick-and-pLace file?
Thanks for the info, the board design looks interesting. It should be Ok to solder on connectors. When I went through the JLC website it said a 4 things had parts not matched, then also a few also unselected.
Looks like no Qwiic, no Mma no USB C, and a few others. Don’t plan to use the MMA anyways so that’s not an issue. What is the motor controller? The boards I have been around used cytron motor controller
Also, you mention a suggested case, is that in the parts list or listed somewhere else?
