## Bill of materials
If this is the option you are following, then you must have a pretty good idea of what you are doing.   Check the BOM for the DIY PCB version of the hardware as a starting point.  You can find the link [here](Module_Build_yourself_PCB.md).

The Arduino Pro-Mini is available many places online.  Check Sparkfun (the original developers of the Pro-Mini) page [here](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11113)

A module case that fits your receiver like the one [here](https://www.xtremepowersystems.net/proddetail.php?prod=XPS-J1CASE)

  or you can 3D print your own from a selection on Thingiverse ([Example 1](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1852868) [Example 2](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1661833)).

You will require a second Arduino or a FTDI (USB to TTL serial) cable to program the Pro-Mini. Like the one [here](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9717).  **Make sure you get only a 3.3V FTDI cable - or you will fry your 3.3V RF modules when you connect it up.**
