[GreenKeys] Model 15 to a computer

I am sure this has been explored, but there are dozens of companies where you upload the gerber file and they send you the boards. Most are in China but the price can be very reasonable.

Going off of what Jordan said below, I was just in the local shop to see how the boards that I’m still trying to get made are going.  The owner of the shop told me slow… he’s having to learn the programming of the boards first, so that he could then see where the soldering job went bad on the five or so… but with the labor shortage, he’s had to put it off onto the side for now, since it’s time consuming and the shop is short handed.  Stay tuned though… I feel like we are getting close*r* :) .

I should have doubled my initial order-- would have made the boards a little cheaper, and I'd still have a hundred lying around for those interested. I'd like to do another run sometime, but realistically I likely wouldn't get around to it until next summer or fall. There's nothing stopping anyone else from doing another run, though it can be a lot of work to handle orders and such and ensure all the components you're using are compatible and correct, and you're putting up a fair bit of financial capital, too.

I wanted to get notes down to help anyone interested in getting the right components for through-hole assembly, but that's another thing to which I haven't gotten around. Still, what I have written down is in the link above under the "Build Your Own" section.

It's a good board-- been using these for 15s/19s since early 2018 now-- all the videos of my machines are leveraging some version of this board. They'll work for pretty much any other model that leverages current loops, too. I hope to be driving a number of 28s with these whenever I find time to start working on cleaning them up.
