I'm new to the list and this is my first question.<br>> <br>> I want to dip into making some PCBs and possibly front panels. I am into eurorack, so that is what I will be aiming toward. I have been learning how to use Eagle to make my schematic into a board.<br>> <br>> Currently, I have been working on a power supply PCB that would mount inside of a case, so I don't have any major size constraints or precision. I will probably make a simple bus board next to distribute the power. Then I want to move on to an actual module. Something simple at first.<br>> <br>> I should also mention that I am in USA, although that probably doesn't matter that much anymore.

My question begins with who / where to order from, but after that I am a bit in the dark about what to even ask. I don't know if copper trace thickness should be a concern. Obviously with power PCBs and distribution boards you want wide traces and I have done some research to try to learn how wide for certain amp loads. Really, any advice will be good for me - anything that you wish you had known before your first order could be helpful.<br>> <br>> Has anyone made panels and if so, what is the beginning process for that? Can you design them in Eagle using Nets or something? I don't know how people even design them.<br>> <br>> Thanks in advance, I look forward to your replies!<br>> <br>> - Shawn<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></blockquote></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>Synth-diy mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Synth-diy@synth-diy.org" target="_blank">Synth-diy@synth-diy.org</a><br><a href="http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy" target="_blank">http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
