Bill of Materials
I am creating a kit for my Blinky Building that users will put together themselves. Since
this is a kit, the bill of materials (BOM) will not go to a manufacturer, and it is not as de-
tailed as the examples in Chapter 14 . Generally, for a simple do-it-yourself (DIY) kit, the
BOM serves the purpose of telling people what is in each kit. If the parts are standard, gen-
eral parts that you could find at any hackerspace, there is no need to go into greater detail
than the information shown in Table 6.1 . In other documentation, it is advisable to include
the data sheet of your chip as well.
Table 6.1 BOM List
In addition to my README file in Appendix F , this concludes the source files for this
kit. With the schematic, board layout, BOM, and README file, others should be able to
reproduce my Blinky Buildings Empire State kit.
