#Build from stratch
If you can help to fully document this page, or just add additional detail please let us know on the rcgroups [forum](http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2165676).
## 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)
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.**
