If you don't know anything about that helping hand there then how do you expect to get into PCB making? It can be easy or hard depending on your level of familiarity with circuits and the software you plan to use to make them. Go look up some tutorial videos for Eagle CAD or Kicad and you will see what is involved.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

Sure I also figured out what things was (cable holder for soddering) and thank you for those applications although I want to buy a custom button pcb so would a "Gameboy DMG-01 4 Button PCB DIY Pi Zero" work for the minty pi? Here is the link https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Gameboy-DMG-01- ... m570.l1313
if not can you help me find one or tell me the name of a specific one meant for that button configuration? Because I don't want to spends months or years learning pcb design to get this board!

Better read around the forums then as I will have the new v3 in a few weeks to likely a month. You could just buy the expensive chinese knock off on ebay but you're on your own with any kind of support from me if you do.
