Import the BOM.
Skip the six tabs.

Paste a bill of materials, a CSV from KiCad, or a line from a build guide. We match it against the index, flag what needs a human, and put the whole thing in one cart.

Sourcing, with receipts

How we check
01

Pinouts, not guesses

Every breakout is photographed, pinned and checked against the vendor drawing before it reaches the index.

02

Licenses travel with the BOM

Each kit states its hardware license and what that means for a derivative, a classroom or a small run.

03

Substitutions with reasons

Out of stock does not mean stuck. See the drop-in, the close-enough, and exactly what changes.

04

Stock that is actually stock

Counts refresh from the shelf, not from a distributor's optimistic CSV. Backorders say so.

Bench notes / weekly
