Hello,
I'm trying to order a few boards through PCBWay production service and they asked for a "pick and place" (centroid) file
I do not see anything like this available on the downloads page, is it possible you can provide it here ?
Thanks!

Hi Cali, you're right, that's a file that's usually only needed if you are going to have a board manufactured, which most people don't. But I have attached it here.

Thank you!

Hi Luke,
I received an update from PCBWay to verify the orientation of the soldered components for the boards I ordered.
Do you have the original version of the "top-down" picture of the TCB board as shown on the board layout in the wiki , but without the overlaid text and changes to brightness\opacity ?

Attached is a picture of the initial board sample they have prepared and from what I can tell everything looks to be assembled correctly but I just want to verify against the known boards
Thanks!

Hi Cali,
Here's the original picture. There are a few minor differences between the version that was produced by Hobby King and the board as it exists today, but no new components that are polarity sensitive.
Looking at the picture you posted all the important pieces that need to go a certain way (ICs, LEDs and diodes) do appear to be in the correct orientation so I think it looks good.
