PCB Composer
Combine our checked KiCad design blocks into your board. We compose the schematic, place and route the board, check it and deliver manufacturing files — from €99 for a Maker board to System boards with 25 blocks.
Pick blocks — instant price
You know the blocks you need: see the tier and price at once and order online.
Describe your device — free quote within 24 h
Tell us what it must do; we map it to blocks, list what is missing and quote. No payment now.

Code FOUNDER20: 20 % off the first 10 Composer jobs. Enter it in the quote form; the quote honours it.
How it works
Pick blocks or describe
Choose blocks for an instant price, or describe the device and we map it to blocks and quote.
Pay and review
Basic, Pro and System orders are reviewed by an engineer after payment. Maker boards go straight to the composer.
Compose and route
Our composer places the blocks (their layouts stay untouched), routes the connections and runs ERC, DRC and rule checks.
Get your files
Download the files on your order page, or have assembled boards made at JLCPCB.

| Manufacturing | you order bare PCBs and pay at JLCPCB with the Gerbers | you order and pay at JLCPCB with our production package, or we order it | you order and pay at JLCPCB with our production package, or we order it | you order and pay at JLCPCB with our production package, or we order it |
| Delivery | within 48 hours | 6 hours | 24 hours | 2 days |
| How you get the price | instant, online | instant, online | instant, online | quote on request |
- Delivery times count from when we accept the order after payment.
- More extra parts than a tier includes: the order moves to the next tier (above System: quote).
- Maker: the €99 counts toward Basic if you later want an engineer review.
- Boards are made and paid for at JLCPCB, separately from our price. Basic, Pro and System: upload our production package on jlcpcb.com (PCB + assembly). Maker: bare PCBs with the Gerbers.

How blocks are counted
Each different block counts as 1, each repeated copy as ½; the total is rounded up.
| Example board | Count | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| ESP32 core + buck + LDO + current monitor | 4 | Maker |
| ESP32 core + buck + MPPT charger + 4 × low-side switch | 3 + 1 + 3 × ½ = 5.5 → 6 | Basic |
| ESP32 core + buck + MPPT + current monitor + 8 × low-side switch | 4 + 1 + 7 × ½ = 8.5 → 9 | Pro |
| 10 different blocks + 12 × low-side switch | 11 + 11 × ½ = 16.5 → 17 | System |
Options
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Maker: new run with changed blocks | €29 |
| Maker: keep the design private | €40 |
| Extra change round (Basic, Pro, System) | €120 |
| New revision of a delivered board | 35% of the tier price |
| Production-ready (EMC risk review, test-jig layout, 10 assembled boards) | +€1,400 |
| PCB manufacturing and assembly through us | at cost +15% |
Payment and terms
| Item | Terms |

| Payment | card, BLIK, Przelewy24 and more; Pro and System also by invoice |
| Invoice | VAT invoice for companies; EU companies with a valid VAT ID pay net (reverse charge) |
| Review | every paid Basic, Pro and System order is reviewed by an engineer before work starts |
| Refund | full refund if we cannot build it; Maker: automatic refund if the automatic checks fail |
| Maker boards | provided as is, not reviewed by an engineer; delivery starts right after payment |
| Confidentiality | a mutual NDA covers every Basic, Pro and System design |
Blocks are checked in the design files (ERC/DRC); they are not yet verified on hardware. See the Terms.
