Anyone want to build their own electronics (PCBs)?
Here's a site for you: (Yes, I'm looking at you, Nuke)

Re: Anyone want to build their own electronics (PCBs)?
I remember this, we used it to design circuits in high school electronics. It's adequate for simple circuits. If you want, they can even make the PCB for you (although that costs a little bit, it still isn't too bad).
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I prefer KiCAD, since it's free, open-source and multiplatform. It also lets you design the circuity itself, not just a PCB. Granted it still has a number of shortcoming (in other words it isn't yet on par with Eagle), but it's getting there.

"I was going to become a speed dealer. If one stupid fairytale turns out to be total nonsense, what does the young man do? If you answered, “Wake up and face reality,” you don’t remember what it was like being a young man. You just go to the next entry in the catalogue of lies you can use to destroy your life." - John Dolan

Re: Anyone want to build their own electronics (PCBs)?
i know how to cut my own circuit boards. i learned this in my high school electronics class. but lately ive had electronic tinkering on the back burner.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Is there a similar app for Mac? (no, Kicad is not all that multi-plattform)
And this ain't no ****. But don't quote me for that one. - Mika

I haven't etched a circuit board of my own since 1990.
No signature.

theres always the marker and acid technique, how well can you draw?
laserjet + thermal transfer paper is the high tech way to do the same thing. when i did it the marker technique was used to fix errors in the heat transfer stage.
