Higgie Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could possibly etch a circuit board for me? I've agreed to build a pedal for a mate, and the only thing I can't do is etch the circuit board. I have the circuit layout, so if anyone would be kind enough to do this, for me, I would be very grateful!! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebasshead Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Could be worth getting this moved to the Repairs and Technical Issues forum? Or drop a PM to Dave Hall (DHA) and ask where he gets his etched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 For a one-off, if it's not too complex and the tracks aren't too fiddly, just use an etch-resist pen or transfers and then dunk in ferrite chloride solution... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why use a PCB for a one off? Veroboard is great for one offs. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 The trick is to remember that depending on how you turn the board over to inspect your work everything in the circuit is upside down or reversed linky - [url="http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Prac/vero_circ/vero.htm"]http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Prac/vero_circ/vero.htm[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you type "Veroboard" in [url="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=veroboard"]Google[/url], [url="http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Prac/vero_circ/vero.htm"]the first link[/url] returned tells you how veroboards/stripboards works.

dangerboy Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 What's the pedal? There are lovely people all over the net who make veroboard layouts for the classics available. I vero all of mine, and it's much easier than using a PCB (plus no need for weird chemicals in the bathroom!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm just going to buy a kit - That way I get all the right components and everything hassle free, and just gotta put the bugger together! I'm gonna have to put a 9v power jack on it too.
