The OrtoViaUS01 schematic and PCB assembly (PCBA) design files, including full manufacturing documentation, are available for licensing. These files have been optimized for production with JLCPCB, specifically targeting their cost-efficient 2-layer PCB process. Component choices have been made to minimize assembly costs. While the design has been successfully validated with JLCPCB as the EMS, customers are responsible for verifying compatibility with their chosen manufacturer. Using an alternative EMS may result in higher costs or require adjustments due to component availability and assembly practices.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that their selected manufacturing service can fabricate and assemble the design in compliance with local regulations and requirements.
Please note: Only design files are provided—no physical products are offered.
All sales of our licensed PCBA designs are handled exclusively through our Patreon page.
Other than the restriction on redistributing design files, you are free to use, modify, and commercialize this design without limitation.
