Rebel Blueprints
Mission Brief
In this mission, the Padawans are summoned to generate a Bill of Materials (BOM) for the PCB schematics and layouts they forged in the PCB Designing task. Worry not if you skipped the PCB Designing task — this mission stands on its own, young Padawan. This is no trivial duty—every resistor, capacitor, and IC must be accounted for. Only with a complete and accurate BOM can the Rebel Alliance proceed to manufacturing.
If you have not done the PCB Designing task here is your reference Material named MiniMorse.kicad_sh (KiCad needs to be installed to open the Schematic).
Each listed component must include a valid galactic trade route (purchase link)—sourced from trusted vendors like Mouser, Digikey, LCSC, or local systems like Robu.in, KTRON, or Amazon India. This ensures the supply ships deliver the exact modules needed for assembly without delay.
The BOM must be compiled and submitted in a Google Sheet or Excel spreadsheet, ready for command review. All hyperlinks should be clickable and clearly lead to the part used.
Jedi Archives: BOM Structure
To construct the BOM holocron, each row must contain the following entries:
| Column | Galactic Description |
|---|---|
| Component Name | e.g., 0805 resistor, LM741
|
| Description | e.g., "5% tolerance, 10kΩ SMD resistor"
|
| Quantity Used | Total units used in the design |
| Package/Footprint | e.g., 0805, SOT-223
|
| Purchase Link | A direct hyperspace route to the exact part used, with matching specs and footprint |
| Total Cost | Total cost in INR |
Hint from Master Yoda
Use websites like Mouser, DigiKey, Robu.in, and KTRON. You can also filter by package type when selecting parts. Always check the datasheets to verify footprints before selecting the final component for the blueprint.
Warnings from the High Council
- Ensure Availability: Only select components that are in stock and ready for delivery across the galaxy.
- Match the Footprint: The mechanical specs must align perfectly with the footprints used in the PCB layout. Incorrect footprints can cause droid malfunctions.
- No Overpricing: Avoid parts from the Outer Rim markets that are unnecessarily expensive unless absolutely essential.
Final Orders
Let your attention to detail be as precise as a Jedi’s lightsaber. The future of the Resistance’s circuits depends on this document. May your BOM be accurate, available, and affordable.
May the Source Be With You.
