    I see C5 on the board has polarity. My ceramic caps seem to have no polarity (no markings on it - https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/murata-electronics-north-america/ZRB18AR61E106ME01L/490-10991-1-ND/5321192).
    I assume that this is ok and this does not need to be a tantalum cap?

    Thanks.

    Yes it's ok. Just make sure that you have 10V rated capacitors(this board runs at 5V so it's best to stay above that). On the radio side you can use 6V capacitors as it's powered at 3.3V but anyway...it's easier to use just 10V types instead of remembering what goes where imho.

      Hi @mtiutiu - Did you ever get a chance to make a BOM? Most of the one @tonnerre33 one makes sense but I only bought two boards so being a little cautious :-)

      Thanks!

        Any BOM? :-)
        I still have these PCBs and want to finish em. Can't source a crystal/resonator of about 5x4 mm.

          The majority of the components are 0603 SMD package type (except 2 smd resistors on the usb lines which are not really mandatory and can be replaced with a solder bridge).

          There you go (extracted from schematic - I can't do better than this because it involves more work and I don't have time for it, sorry):

          a) 9 x 100nF 0603 SMD MLCC capacitors, X5R/X7R (voltage can be 10V and above)
          b) 3 x 1uF 0603 SMD MLCC capacitors, X5R/X7R (voltage can be 10V and above)
          c) 1 x 10uF 0603 SMD MLCC capacitor, X5R/X7R (voltage can be 10V and above)
          d) 1 x 22uF 0603 SMD MLCC capacitor, X5R/X7R (voltage can be 10V and above)
          e) 1 x 10nF 0603 SMD MLCC capacitor, X5R/X7R (voltage can be 10V and above)
          f) 1 x ferrite bead 0603 SMD blm18he152sn1d
          g) 3 x 330 ohm 0603 SMD resistor
          h) 1 x 1Kohm 0603 SMD resistor
          i) 1 x 10Kohm 0603 SMD resistor
          j) 1 x 56Kohm 0603 SMD resistor
          k) 1 x MCP1703A-3302 3.3V/0.25A voltage regulator
          l) 1 x TXB0104 voltage level converter
          m) 1 x ATMEGA328P-MU AVR MCU (QFN32 package)
          n) 1 x CP2102 USB to serial (QFN28 package)
          o) 3 x 0603 SMD LEDs (your pick here)
          p) 1 x ATSHA204A (SOT-23 package)
          q) 1 x RFM69W module (your pick regarding working frequency)
          r) 1 x ZTTCS16.00MX ceramic resonator
          s) 1 x USB A type male connector for PCB and 1 SMD reset switch (I have no exact links for this, sorry)
