[sdiy] prototype boarding (help?) and homemade pcbs.

[James Coplin]

I *really* like the one-pas inc. protoboards.  The layout and several available size are great.  I can out just about anything really neatly on them and they are the only proto board I've used that the solder really sticks to well.

You can see their stuff at http://www.onepasinc.com/bonnie/index.html .  They also have an Eay shop that has some pretty good deals from time to time.  They also ship super fast.

hey guys,

i am trying to prototype-board René Schmitz's ADSR2, but am having a
little trouble.

this is the first module that i've built on prototype-board.  it's
just a board with simple through-holes.

would you guys happen to have any suggestions on how to transfer
circuit schematics to a prototype-board like this?  i've just made a
big mess trying to make things fit and work things out.  but, it seems
like there should be some simple guildlines to make it easier.

also, i've been thinking of making my own pcbs at home.  this would
solve the prototype-board problem.  but, i would need a macintosh
program that would let me layout the schematic, then have the program
translate the schematic to a pcb layout.  is this possible on a mac?


any help is much appreciated,
cole groff
