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

  21 ## Development
  22
  23 The tools required to build  or run the project will vary depending on
  24 your operating system. Please refer to [the wiki](https://github.com/Proxmark/proxmark3/wiki) for details.

  41 Most of the ultra-low-volume contract assemblers could put
  42 something like this together with a reasonable yield. A run of around
  43 a dozen units is probably cost-effective. The BOM includes (possibly-
  44 outdated) component pricing, and everything is available from Digikey
  45 and the usual distributors.
  46
  47 If you've never assembled a modern circuit board by hand, then this is
  48 not a good place to start. Some of the components (e.g. the crystals)
  49 must not be assembled with a soldering iron, and require hot air.
  50
  51 The schematics are included; the component values given are not
  52 necessarily correct for all situations, but it should be possible to do
  53 nearly anything you would want with appropriate population options.
  54
  55 The printed circuit board artwork is also available, as Gerbers and an
  56 Excellon drill file.
