all manufacturing data are in the Git folder. No Cytron needed - a IBT-2-like driver (U9 + U10) is onboard.
Yes, soldering USB-C is possible but no fun
xU14 is intentially like it is. You only need it in case of a 2/6 valve; in that case make it “U14” AND DO NOT MOUNT R59, R76 AND F7. D5,D6,D7 is not mandatory, but Q8 is. Choose a 2nd source (hint in BOM - there are many options)
Is there any positives or negatives to the IBT-2 vs the Cytron? It will handle the electric motors or hydraulic valves, 12 or 24 volt
just to have a one-failure-safe switch-off which I assume as fully mandatory when controlling valves. the voltage levels are exactly like what you expect, if the motor supply is switched on. can use a 12V/24V step-up for the motor, but that’s just an option
I will read through the info in the git folder some more. What do you mean by a 2/6 valve?
I saw the info about selecting other sources, will look at that more as well.
Thanks for info
Are there any suppliers that as of right now are soldering the USB C connectors on to make it a little more complete?
does this answer your question? There are many PCB assembly manufactureres out there. You’d have to choose one and adapt the BOM.
Yes, I have a few more but I just need to read through your GitHub and this thread some more and will have a better understanding. Thanks
just again: if you adapt the BOM for any other PCBA manufacturer, please share that information with the community!
USB-C PD is working in general! 
So we just upload PickAndPlace_Central_Unit_AgOpenGPS.csv and that’s it, no adjustments?
For the BOM_THT_Central Unit for AgOpenGPS.csv , this does not upload well in Digikey or LCSC here. Also in LibreOffice I can’t open it well, the columns shift and the TG_WEMOS_D1_ESP32(CLONE) row is extremely long.
yes, no adjustments. The ods file is just for information.
That BOM (thx for the hint - row correct now!) has only the THT components, so nothing to upload anywhere. Some of these parts you have to buy at the electronic shop you like, depending on your options, e. g. M8/M12 or PushIn, etc. My LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 work fine (you have to choose the right separator):
Thank you, I can open the THT BOM on my local machine properly now.
Remembering the PCB V2 process, I was just thinking of uploading this to LCSC or other with a BOM-tool, to visualise what the parts are and pick those I need. I see that the supplier part numbers are included. But it seems the ID and Name are sticked together after uploading and columns are messed up. Can always enter part numbers manually so no problem!
I have ordered 5 boards, looking forward to the SMD soldering lol (the USB hub chip, and might try the USB-C’s too). Thank you for such an investment in github documentation. For your information, I am using a primitive dual GPS setup from Matthias and looking to expand so I am interested to see how your rooftop module works out as well.
just added links to the THT BOM - have a look, please!
The rooftop unit is based on Matthias’ ideas, so if you have two Ardusimple boards, you can connect them via the Pixhawk connector
Will do
The rooftop unit has a gerber and a BOM, but no luck and place, does that mean we solder the components on ourself or is there something I am missing for JLC to install parts.
Thanks
Also, what is the agri node?
Yes, only simple THT components and the Pixhawk + QWICC components.
So we just order them and then solder to board? This board is needed instead of stacking the 2 F9p’s together from Ardusimple so that we can send the data through the Esp?
Yes, instead of stacking, you connect them via the Pixhawk connectors like described in this post.. The board was intended to use ubox boads from the gnss store, which would fit into a very small IP66 housing, but unfortunately they’re much more expensive. So I think most people will use Ardusimple boards.
Data handling is done with Matthias/Franz’ software (great work!), but some pin definitions have to be changed (different type of board in order to fit into a small housing)
