> I'm about to order a couple of PCBs from Olimex, this is the first time > ever I've done this, and just wondered what the common mistakes maybe? A couple of boards, as in two? I have been following this thread, but as I've gotten back into electronics in the last couple months, I've rounded up items to make my own PCBs. Is the project sufficiently complext that you can't make the boards yourself? If you are only making a couple of boards, I would invest in some small supplies to do it yourself. Of course, there are two factors that have allowed me to not need PCB services yet: 1) I have lots of extra time, no wife, no children, etc.; 2) I don't have any really complex board designs (yet). And of course, my boards are only 1 or 2 sided, no silkscreen, and so forth. Gustaf > > Ed > > -- > http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
