Is this thanks for the adapter? :-)

[bilbolodz]

@kalina YEP :-)

@kalina Now "for real": I will be more than happy if you provide gerber files for PCB factory and thank you very much for you work.

if you provide gerber files for PCB factory

Already added to project files.

[bilbolodz]

@kalina Thanks.

At the begging quick question: are you sure that all is fine with drills? Some gerber renders in PCB factories show strange results (pcbs.io and oshpark.com).

I've maid a quick research with comparison of cost (I've always took "the cheapest product and shipment option):

• www.seeedstudio.com 10 pcs 4.90 USD + shipment 11.30 USD - (PCB max size 100 mm x 100m)
• pcbs.io 4 pcs 1.50 USD + shipment free (probably problems with drills need to be checked more throughly)
• oshpark.com 3 pcs 1.85USD + shipment free (probably problems with drills need to be checked more throughly)
• dirtypcbs.com "protopack" (at least 10 pcs maybe more) 11.95 USD + 2 USD shipment (PCB max size 50mm x 50m, factory complaining after ZIP upload: "No board outline (.GML/.GKO/.GBR) file found")

Of course it depends of "someone needs" but I think it could be a good idea to prepare "panelized version" with a few pcs of PCB which fits into PCB factory needs (dirtypcbs.com: 5cmx5cm, www.seeedstudio.com 10cmx10cm) for a "batch order" it should be more costs efficient.

Yes.

For example, 20 pcs with delivery (to Poland) cost 11$ on PCBWay.

I've never used PCBWay but I will add it to "my list".

[bilbolodz]

What's the size of these PCB?

[Nca78]

10*10 cm on PCBWay

You can also add elecrow, 5 boards with a max of 10*10cm for 5$, and I think I have seen a 5$ China Post shipping.

[bilbolodz]

I mean: what is the size of @kalina designed PCB.

If you need get size for ordering - you can specify 15.2x15.5mm.

@bilbolodz Actually a PA+LNA version is on github (untested)
https://github.com/emc2cube/SMDnRF24_adapter/tree/master/PA_LNA

But yes, I did not update the openhardware part yet.

If you want to order PCB, maybe try -Removed by moderator-. They provide rapid prototyping.
Their minimum order is at least one board, the board is of good quality.
To Poland about four or five days.
They now have activities. Can be paid on delivery.
