https://github.com/godders/scientist/raw/main/tester/scientist-layout-tester.pdfKits are expected to cost between £20-£40 (about €24-€48, $25-$50) plus shipping from the UK, depending on what the default kit ends up containing (which depends on IC feedback!). Kits will definitely include at minimum a PCB and plate, an ATMega32a with a preflashed bootloader and all the necessary components for a basic build.
