Do-It-Yourself
TIP
This section is for build a board your self. If what you want is to buy a board, please go to the /pinguino-boards/buy page.
Pinguino Project is Open Hardware. This means that the user has access to all the necessary technical information that allows him to design and / or build his own Pinguino board.
Even more: The design of Pinguino is so simple that the boards can be built in breadboard, perforated plates, or single-faced Pertinax, at home. And if you have the resources, you can send the Gerber files to suppliers like PCBWay or JLCPCB for a professional finish, at U$D 2-5 for 5 pieces.
