schematic source files for OpenBCI boards
I want to build the OpenBCI myself and I would need a parts list. I did not find anything in the hardware description and also I couldn't find the schematic and pcb files. Is it planned to release those?

I would also like to build an OpenBCI on my own. Did
you already make the Design Spark files available? I am afraid, I
cannot get the Gerber files provided above production ready, so the
Design Spark ones would be very handy. Or is there a way to order just
the PCB?
btw.: Thank you so much for this great project.
Thank you very much!
I have installed DesignSpark, downloaded .pcb and .sch and library files from Github, enebled folders in the library, but when I try to open .pcb or .sch files I got "Failed to import from this file..." error.
I tried another projects from DesignSpark site and could open them without any problems.
Can you help me to solve this?
I had the same problem at first when I downloaded the files from github with rightclick and "save destination as...".
Then I created an account on github and used the "download as zip" function on the web page and everything worked fine.
Hope this helps.
I'm also interested in producing my own OpenBCI boards.
In fact I would also like to dive in the hardware arcane and build a simpler design with less features (no SD, no accelerometer...).
Something else [related] I would also like to work on, is to lead some dedicated workshops making (more assembling...) its OpenBCI board here in my local FabLab.
As a first step I would like to command a small batch of PCBs and assemble/solder my board, like a padawan making its first laser saber...
Is it possible to have some advices about PCB manufacturing options in order to have boards as close as possible to OpenBCI ones ?
[material, surface finish, thickness, finished copper weight, inner layer copper thickness, other ?...]
Any feedbacks/advice also about assembling/soldering such board are welcome :-).
Thanks a lot for this awesome project and its openhardware approach. I really look forward learning and sharing about it !
Regards
Sorry if this question sounded a bit dumm :-).
I'll pay attention reading well all posts and publication before asking questions about some design aspects. I feel having so much to learn... this is really an exciting journey.
what can i use to open then for free, i dont want to have to sign up to anything ...
