:: I'm going to start off with something simple to etch. It's just :: going :: to be a simple board with a space for a 28 pin PIC, a 0.1 uF :: capacitor, and a 6 pin ICSP header which the PICKIT2 can attach to. If this is your first time ever for etching a PCB, you might want to make your tracks a little wider where you can. This means that if you get the etching time or developing time (if using photo transfer method) slightly off and you get poor definition at the edge of the tracks, you'll still have plenty of copper available to do the job. Once you've sussed out temperature and time, then revert back to standard tracks.
