Sourcing the components

For sourcing the components, you have two options:

Source them yourself

You will need to order the parts from a shop, and order some PCBs directly from the manufacturer.

The Elite-C Adapters are open-source. At this moment, the flexible PCBs are not. Instead, you can use Amoebas.

Note: please use Elite-C adapter V1.3
