Building the Gugusse 3.1 PCB
You're going to need an empty Gugusse 3.1 Printed Circuit Board to start. These can be ordered from any company that produces PCBs in small quantities. The files you need are called Gerber Files and the PCB is 8cm x 10cm. The Gerber files are included in the Gugussse Compact distribution. Below is a parts list of what you'll need to build it. DigiKey part numbers are included but you can use any parts supplier that can provide the same parts.
