### Building the unit
This is going to be difficult for all but the most technically advanced. The board features all surface mounted components, with 4 QFNs, a few SOT-363s and tightly spaced 0603 passives. The antenna switch is smaller than 1mmx1mm and requires a microscope. Unless you're skilled with stencils and reflow, you will find it challenging.
This is going to be difficult for all but the most technically advanced. The board features all surface mounted components, with 4 QFNs, a few SOT-363s and tightly spaced 0603 passives. The antenna switch is about 0.8 x 1 mm and you'll need a microscope to align it. Unless you're very skilled with stencils and reflow, you will find it difficult to build.
For this reason, I have developed a kit which includes pre-soldered (and programmed) boards. Take a look [at the installation instructions here](latest/Manuals) to get a better understanding of what's involved. There is a limited number of these that I can produce (mainly due to the chip shortage), so if you're insterested, send an email to *maiana.kits@_dontspam_gmail.com* (remove the spambot blocker of course).
### License
CAD and transponder firmware are licensed under GPLV3. I chose the most "copyleft" license possible to discourage commercial entities from ripping this off and then "close-sourcing" it.
