[sdiy] PCB files

[Charles Bisaillon]

So my team mates have finished the PCB files with only few thing to fix. But
they followed only half the PCB design guidelines from Joe Grisso that I've
posted for them. The trace size is alright, the PCB size is alright but the
component placement is horrible (for trace length) and they finished them
off with autotrace and 2 layers. Check it out.

I have never done this before but, according to the guidelines, this PCB has
major problems. But on the other hand, the breadboard is surely worst with
all those stray capacitances, but experimentally, it was a bit noisy but
really not that bad (on my 10$ cpu speaker).

I am asking those of you who have experienced this before. Is this
acceptable? Would any of you consider this good work? I really am new to
this and thanks a lot for your help.
