- Mon Feb 06, 2017 5:55 am #62158 I've just discovered oshpark and found a few shared project boards i'm interested in for my esp8266 project. I've come to the conclusion that the board I want is already out there.

Are their other sites like oshpark, where you search & purchase other people boards?

- Mon Feb 06, 2017 6:05 am #62159 The other one I've come across is dirtypcbs - they allow you to share your designs for others to order, but I don't think they have a single website which lists all of these shared designs. (People can choose to share them onwards themselves.)

What functions are you looking for from a board?

- Fri Feb 10, 2017 6:22 am #62341 Thanks. I've looking for a board with a MAX17043 with Solar recharge ability suitable for esp8266.

I've never done SMD soldering, but I've done heaps of traditional soldering. Not sure if I should give it a shot or look for PCB assembly services (with components). Don't wanna go blind
