Before submitting, make sure you have:
- A public GitHub repo with your README, project files, production files, firmware, and journal.md
- 5 hours tracked with journaling out Lookout. Each journal.md entry titled with how much time you spent that session and at least one screenshot per entry
- A good README that has your BOM (bill of materials). More on that below.
Here’s what a good GitHub repo file structure looks like:
README + BOM
A good readme has the project name, the input, output, and connector you rolled, a short description of what your board does, and some screenshots of your PCB. The BOM should have part name, quantity, cost, and where it’s from:
| Part | Qty | Source | |---------------------|-----|-----------------| | XIAO RP2040 | 1 | Seeed Studio | | DS18B20 temp sensor | 1 | JLCPCB catalog | | 4.7k resistor | 1 | JLCPCB catalog | | Passive piezo buzzer | 1 | JLCPCB catalog |
