John,
Thanks... I published the design for that very reason, I needed to
replace some crap electronics that came with the mill and turned to the
data sheets and did it from there... with 20/20 hind site I could re-do
it and improve many features.
I have no problem with simpler designs, they have a place, trouble is
people out grow them very quickly...:-)
A while back I sent out a questionnaire asking a bunch of people what
they were willing to pay for a "good" set of boards, by good, I mean
solder mask and silk screen. Eventually I got 100% replies and the
result was the average they were willing to pay was in the order of $10
per board...
Well I can make them for less, but I can't pack and ship and keep books
and pay taxes for a simple $2-5 per board, I find my time is worth a lot
more than that, so I published it free of charge.... It costs me to do
that, and I have at least 5 cries for help every week ( I reply to all
of them )... That's the reason I want to re-do the layout, perhaps the
e-mail's will be less...
Anyway, as I said when I get time I will re-do the layout, PIA the PCB
layout program I used to use is fine, but I moved onto (via the crap
Easy PC, I never did sell it on eBay !) to EAGLE and find it to be a
very good program. BTW they now have a cheaper version for Hobby users
that does not restrict as much as the freee version.
I tend to agree with you outlook on design for the home/hobby person,
make it from stuff that can be gotten at Home Depot...
Anyway... I'm still interested in a simple way to through hole plate two
sided PCB's.... Every thing suggested so far has been a nightmare of
chemicals...
Best Regards
Hans W
