Hello i posted some of my PCB progress in "alt.binaries.schematics.electronics"

i was hopping for some experienced advice and critiques on design, layout , how to improve what is wrong what is right etc..

thanks for your help and time, robb

Keep the tracks as thick as possible. Keep pads as big as possible without them causing shorts.

I use PCBCAD21 which I got off ebay for a few pounds.

Know your vendor (a real jerk).

But I am a not for profit vendor ! Hence a huge PCB CAD program for peanuts. A similar program from Number one systems would be =A3400.

So get your facts right before accusing people of spamming !
