# Build Your Own
These instructions will guide you through purchasing all of the parts needed to assemble kits for yourselves and for friends! Please note the hardware is licensed non-commercial.
If you'd like to buy the kits pre-packaged/pre-flashed or fully assembled we have a network of makers here to help you out at https://scsi.blue
## Order Parts
Updated for 1.0-c.
### PCB's
Grab the latest Gerbers. Gerber files tell the PCB manufacturer how to create the BlueSCSI boards.

Order the boards from https://jlcpcb.com/ or your manufacturer of choice.
### Components

### BluePill
Buy from a place where returns are easy. Ensure the photo in the listing shows a chip that says STM32 on it.
The BluePill must be a STM32F103**C8T6** - a C6T6 will not work. Check the listings closely.
