Help with SIFT information

Did Mr. Carlson ever put out a final “Parts List” for the “SIFT” switching foil side tester Project. If so where should I be looking? This is what I have for Project Information:

  1. SIFT component layout non switching
  2. SIFT display and switch component map
  3. SIFT Drill Guide
  4. SIFT parts list non switching
  5. SIFT PCB layout display and switch
  6. SIFT PCB Layout non switching
  7. SIFT Schematic Display- Amp- and Switch
  8. SIFT Schematic Experimental
  9. SIFT Schematic updates non switching
  10. SIFT Switch Schematic Experimental

If some of this is wrong, please let me know. I had computer issues and am trying to rebuild all the labs and information without having to go and ask for copies from MC. I think I have all the PDF’s I’m just not sure if they are in the right “Video Number” I am looking at videos 46-49. If I am missing a file let me know which one and I may be able to find it.

 I don’t think I have done anything wrong as all I am asking is for clarity on my info. I didn’t show the PDF, just the name of the file. Let me know if this is in violation of the rules of the forum.

It looks as if Mr C never released a BOM. FWIW i’d refer to the ‘SIFT Schematic Display- Amp- and Switch’ & ‘SIFT PCB layout display and switch’ & create my own spreadsheet for the components noting the partcode, SMD footprint etc while checking my favourite supplier eg Mouser or Digikey etc to verify preferred cost, availability etc parameters. Then use the spreadsheet column partcodes you have confirmed & upload that. In the past I have found the supplier OnLine System self generates a BOM for you. I will likely build the SIFT soon so this will be my approach. I expect that something will be now not readily be available sadly so some more work required there chasing a substitute. Hope my description makes sense.

Thanks, that is what I will do. I just wasn’t sure if I missed something.
