> total parts cost of under £20 or $25

Yet the link to have a board made is $99 for just the board.

Would love to team up with folks interested in snagging one of these... maybe we could do a group buy somewhere?

Take the gerber files from the Github repo, zip them, upload the zip file to jlcpcb.com, and you'll get 5 boards for around $20 including shipment. You'll still need the components like the AVR and LEDs and so on and you'll have to assemble them manually, but you'll have to do that with the offering from the link at oshpark too.

As mentioned in the article I used Elecrow, who made 5 boards for $24.14. I accept that the unit cost will be more if you're only making one.
