1# proxmark3: the official Proxmark repository!
2
3The proxmark3 is a powerful general purpose RFID tool, the size of a deck
4of cards, designed to snoop, listen and emulate everything from
5**Low Frequency (125kHz)** to **High Frequency (13.56MHz)** tags.
6
7This repository contains enough software, logic (for the FPGA), and design
8documentation for the hardware that you could, at least in theory,
9do something useful with a proxmark3.

38Most of the ultra-low-volume contract assemblers could put
39something like this together with a reasonable yield. A run of around
40a dozen units is probably cost-effective. The BOM includes (possibly-
41outdated) component pricing, and everything is available from Digikey
42and the usual distributors.
43
44If you've never assembled a modern circuit board by hand, then this is
45not a good place to start. Some of the components (e.g. the crystals)
46must not be assembled with a soldering iron, and require hot air.
47
48The schematics are included; the component values given are not
49necessarily correct for all situations, but it should be possible to do
50nearly anything you would want with appropriate population options.
51
52The printed circuit board artwork is also available, as Gerbers and an
53Excellon drill file.
