### Hardware
The central component of OMOTE is its PCB. If you want to build the PCB yourself, you will need SMT-reflow tools like a hot plate or a hot-air station. The 2-layered board and a solder paste stencil can be ordered from any PCB manufacturer using the [KiCad files](https://github.com/CoretechR/OMOTE/tree/main/PCB). Manufacturers like OSHPARK or Aisler will accept these files directly. For JLCPCB or PCBWay, you can use their plugin to export the optimized Gerber files.

A [zip archive](https://github.com/CoretechR/OMOTE/blob/main/PCB/production/gerber.zip) with theses Gerber files is also included in this repository.
I sourced the electrical parts from LCSC, but most of them should be available from the usual suppliers like Digikey or Mouser as well. You can check out the [BOM](https://github.com/CoretechR/OMOTE/blob/main/PCB/BOM.csv) for all the necessary components.
The project uses a 2000mAh Li-Ion battery with a JST-PHR-2 connector. Any 3.7V Li-Ion battery that fits into the 50x34x10mm dimensions should work alright. Please ***make sure to choose a battery with integrated undervoltage protection*** (usually visible as a small PCB under Kapton tape between the battery cables).
The 2.8" capacitive touchscreen can be sourced from Adafruit ([2770](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2770)). If you look for the part number CH280QV10-CT, you can also buy this display directly from the manufacturer via [Alibaba](https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/High-Quality-240-3-rgb-320_1600408828330.html). Shipping from China is expensive, so this only makes sense if you order multiple displays. In general, the cost for a single OMOTE is quite high. Check out the buy-sell page on the [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1138116475559882852/1153343867681243279) to see if you can share the cost of the PCBs and components with others.
