Sadly I don't have direct access to altium - please generate the gerbers
removing anything you don't wish to share and I can import the gerbers
into kicad. I need the PCB outline, and connectors and pads and silks to
make life easy. PDFs of schematics you wish to share also great.

Look forward Luke.

You do know of course, if you were to make a compact mains power supply
that also takes the emoa card, then you got a sheepaplugggggg!!!!

If someone has pdfs of compact mains supply that works from 110V to 220V
and wish to share, then I can get the sheeepapluggggg board built asap
and gpl it.
