Oh, my goodness, please be nice. This isn't a product that you get off-the-shelf with all the parts and manual wrapped up nicely; it's a group project and a kit that only comes with the hard-to-source parts! Szopler was nice enough to volunteer to do the electrical design & software, plastics and PCB, and that's WAY ahead of where we'd be if no one had put the effort into it. Do you have the time to do all that for us?

The BOM you linked lines up nicely with the reference designators on the PCB, so I suspect it is the correct one. As for sourcing parts, this project is distributed all over the world, so everyone will need to scrounge for parts locally. I suspect those of us in the US will go to Digi-Key and sort out which part number to buy. C10 and C13, for example, are 220nF (0.22uF)/630V cap with 15mm spacing and 5mm width so I'll probably order 495-2320-ND even though it's a bit too wide. Think of it as an exercise, or a test of your parts procurement skills. In fact, I think it would be very useful for users from each area (US, Europe, etc.) to post a list of their purchased parts to help out the rest of us. Too many of my parts are coming from the junk box, or I would do just that.

(And my kit arrived today! Yaaay!)
