Hi There,

First off I wanted to thank you for this great project! From an outside perspective it was only on my second or third pass poking around that I found the thepaintbrush repo with the pcb files to order, bom, and build instructions.

My suggestions for improvements are.

  1. Include a section on artsey.io pointing to the thepaintbrush repo.
  2. Add a section to the thepaintbrush repo pointing out which file you'll want to give to a pcb manufacture. I may also be helpful to provide some context since a new user may not know that custom PCB manufacturing is cheap & fast. My order was $2 manufacturing for 5 boards (done in three days) and $3 shipping (something like 3 weeks but I chose the cheapest).

Thanks again for this project 🎉

-Jon

I will add this to the website.
@mcrosson can you have a look at the suggestions here for the paintbrush repo?

As someone following this who would probably order some if the PCB and other parts ordering was easy enough, I'll be checking back on this issue!

I'll be updating the paintbrush main readme with additional details on how to order pcbs and places that folks have recommended and/or gotten working boards from in the past.

ThePaintbrush repo has been updated with information on who/where to get PCBs made as well as some additional detail on the bottom plate. The main readme has the general details so users don't have to dig around too deep.

@gleorepo canyou close this when the updates you're doing are live?
