DK, you don't actually have to make a PCB to assemble the simple interface circuit which has been posted on x5world.

No I could assamble with tape or crimpingflex and put in a bag
No, honestly - I like it to be good quality, without risk, good looking, etc.
so I prefere buying a made one.
Actually I think Ressler should have mounted the boards in a small plasticbox,
with two plugs, one for the USB and one for the IBus, so you don't accidentially place the board on the metal !
