Add PCBWay manufacturing files

- BOM_PCBWay.csv: LCSC part numbers for assembly - CPL_PCBWay.csv: Component placement coordinates (template) - README with PCB specs, order checklist, cost estimate - gerbers/ directory for exported Gerber files Updated .gitignore to track manufacturing templates.

+# Manufacturing Files for PCBWay
+
+## Required Files for PCB + Assembly Order
+
+### 1. Gerber Files (from KiCad)
+
+Export from KiCad PCB editor: `File → Fabrication Outputs → Gerbers`
+
+Required layers:
+- `SN-L00-F_Cu.gbr` - Front copper
+- `SN-L00-B_Cu.gbr` - Back copper
+- `SN-L00-F_SilkS.gbr` - Front silkscreen
+- `SN-L00-B_SilkS.gbr` - Back silkscreen
+- `SN-L00-F_Mask.gbr` - Front soldermask
+- `SN-L00-B_Mask.gbr` - Back soldermask
+- `SN-L00-Edge_Cuts.gbr` - Board outline
+- `SN-L00-PTH.drl` - Plated through holes
+- `SN-L00-NPTH.drl` - Non-plated through holes
+
+**Settings:**
+- Format: Gerber X2 (or RS-274X)
+- Drill format: Excellon
+- Units: mm
+- Coordinate format: 4.6
+
+### 2. BOM (Bill of Materials)
+
+See `BOM_PCBWay.csv` - formatted for PCBWay assembly.
+
+### 3. CPL (Component Placement List)
+
+See `CPL_PCBWay.csv` - component positions for pick and place.
+
+Export from KiCad: `File → Fabrication Outputs → Component Placement`
+
+## PCBWay Order Settings
+
+### PCB Specifications
+
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Layers | 2 |
+| Dimensions | 28mm × 100mm |
+| Quantity | 5 (minimum) |
+| Thickness | 1.6mm |
+| Surface Finish | HASL (lead-free) or ENIG |
+| Soldermask | Black |
+| Silkscreen | White |
+| Copper Weight | 1oz (35µm) |
+| Min Track/Space | 0.2mm / 0.2mm |
+| Min Hole | 0.3mm |
+
+### Assembly Options
+
+| Parameter | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Assembly Side | Top + Bottom (or Top only) |
+| Unique Parts | ~12 |
+| SMD Parts | ~16 placement points |
+| Through-hole | 2 (jacks, power header) |
+
+### Parts Sourcing
+
+- **LCSC parts**: Most SMD components (auto-sourced)
+- **Customer supplied**: RP2040-Zero, OLED module (hand-solder)
+- **Thonkiconn jacks**: May need to source separately
+
+## Cost Estimate (5 units)
+
+| Item | Cost |
+|------|------|
+| PCB fabrication | $5-10 |
+| SMD assembly | $15-25 |
+| LCSC components | $20-30 |
+| Shipping | $15-25 |
+| **Total** | **$55-90** |
+
+*Prices vary by quantity and shipping speed*
+
+## Order Checklist
+
+- [ ] Export Gerbers from KiCad
+- [ ] Generate drill files
+- [ ] Export component placement (CPL)
+- [ ] Verify BOM has correct LCSC part numbers
+- [ ] Zip Gerbers + drill files
+- [ ] Upload to PCBWay
+- [ ] Select "PCB Assembly" option
+- [ ] Upload BOM and CPL
+- [ ] Review part matching
+- [ ] Confirm order
