USB-C to 1541-ii/1581 PSU

So, because of another thread discussing PSU's, I found THIS online, a little device that goes from USB-C to 1541-ii /1581 PSU.

Has anyone seen one of these before, or know where an assembled board can be got? I SMD soldering skills are horrible and I have ruined projects before, and while have practiced, those itty bitty part are still not really possible for me without bridging everything under the pins and resistors, capacitors, etc.

The gerbers are available on github. You'll be able to send these off to jlcpcb or pcbway (etc) and get them to make the board. If you can make a BOM to go with it, then the pcb maker can do the smd work for you. I'm not sure how to create a BOM for it but I'm sure there are much smarter people on here that can help you with that!

Edit, I created a .XLSX BOM for it from the github bom page. (Not sure if its right. Someone can check it for me). JLCPCB also want a CPL file, which I don't know how to make.

There was a BOM on the site as well, part of me though would rather pay someone who had done it for their work than PCBWay, but if I don't have any alternatives, then I don't have a choice.

Chances are if you find someone that sells them complete is that they got them built by jlcpcb/pcbway. If someone can make a CPL file, then I'll order some for myself and then I'll finish making it for you and you can have one at cost price + postage.
