A few examples could also be helpful to get a better impression of cost without uploading a finished design.

noted, we'll get on this. thanks.

I've uploaded an Arduino Uno here: https://circuithub.com/projects/gbuchholz/arduino_uno https://circuithub.com/projects/gbuchholz/arduino_uno ...it's telling me to check back later for the pricing.

  The trouble here was sourcing of the ATMEGA16U2-MU part. If you check back now you'll see we suggested the ATmega32U2 as a substitute. Now that we've learnt the substitute it will happen automatically for all other projects in future.

    I did change that to do-not-populate, so you might what to have that not hold up the whole process. Also there should be a way to ignore or delete the autodetected BOM items (which were extracted from the Eagle schematic). The fiducials were detected, and I think I made them "cosmetic" to continue the process. It's not 100% clear what "cosmetic" vs "normal" vs. "accessories". A similar thing happened for a couple of other items, which I simply placed 0-ohm jumpers to short-circuit the process so-to-speak. Also, is there a way to tell circuit-hub what attribute the manufacturer's part numbers is? That wasn't obvious. And you should think about adding the reference designators to the BOM display.

      noted, thanks Greg! The whole reconciliation process is something we'll be improving a lot over the coming weeks.

        Also, it seems like on your landing page that you'd want to emphasize the "instant" nature of the quote. I didn't realize that until user 0xdeadbeefbabe above kind-of mentioned it. I really didn't give it much though, but I'd assumed you were like every other contract manufacturer, and one you upload something, they'll have someone get back to you in a week. When I realized that wasn't the case, I then went to upload something just to see how it worked. Also, I'd make the "quote breakout" in the lower right corner the default option, and someone could hide the details if they don't like it.

        Yep we need to do a much better job of explaining that! Thanks for the feedback.
