Subject description: how can I make a PCB from this image?
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

I have never designed a circuit and made my own PCB. It seems like this is what grown-ups do.

I have not tried etching a PCB since I was a kid, but curious about this.
My first question is, how do I print this on my laser printer? Specifically what scale is the image, and what DPI? I look at this and my guess is to print it out and see if the IC sockets are at scale, and if not tweak until it is.

And secondly, I really don't want to be etching PCBs at home. Are there services that do one-off etching based only on a PDF?

I opened the jpg's in photoshop and I think that if you print them at 300DPI you should get the correct size.

Thanks! That is encouragement enough.
