Now, if the photo resist boards would turn out plated through-holes. :) > Presensitized boards may be expensive but > at my local store the difference from normal boards are less than 5%. Even for large boards (which are going to be harder to cut down if you don't want to expose the whole thing) the presensitized boards are 20-30x (yes times, not percent) more expensive per sq inch than the surplus double sided boards I bought. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
