Homebrew PCBs

  Have a board off here now, will post a pic or two when it gets here.  
Gets 29 of my smaller 2.6" square boards for $90, -$6 from Paypal 
coupon.  Still only one board, and a bit more than CustomPCB, but with 
mask etc.  But lower initial cost than their full panel order, and not a 
bad deal for prototyping even at the 155 sq inch special, and the Ebay 
one is 200" sq.  Should do ok for starting up on these, looking through 
the feedback for other people selling after ordering from them, their 
boards look pretty good.  Tighter specs than CustomPCB too, don't need 
it much on this board but SMT ones may work out better here..  Will only 
get 12 of my next 4" sq larger version, but that's still not too 
terrible on a price/board basis   CustomPCB 10 panels works out a bit 
better, I think even after adding the mask.

  Might even decide to run off a batch of my motor controller here, 
it'll get 16 of the 3"x4".  If so, I'll put up the extra here at cost, 
after a little testing.  Should do 5 or 6 axes after a little more 
tweaking, 3 full drivers up to 5 phase bipolar or unipolar motors, and 
2-3 that will just be 4 bottom FETs for 5 or 6 wire unipolars, for 
rotary or other additional use.  I have another board or two to finish 
first, but they should only take a week, then the motor controller only 
needs a few minor mods for the other axes before it's ready to make.

Later,
