The state of the homebrew

The state of the homebrew

2004-02-26 by Ronald Viers

I have just been a lurker in this group trying to get
some idea of where things are.  I have been out of
prototyping and interfacing for about twenty years. 
What is the scale of integration most of the members
are working with?  What are typical clock speeds you
get from your boards?  How many layers are you using? 
I would like to look at any of the projects if you
would provide me a link to them.

Thank you,
Ron

for me mostly boards smaller than 100mmx160mm, using smd and
throughhole mixed, single-sided whenever possible.
clock speeds - didn't attempt more than 20Mhz but that's for sure
not the limit.
Quite often something from the net, only making a pcb for a known
working circuit, sometimes new designs when none is suitable.

Markus is making multilayer at home, which is about the maximum you will
find here. so you see the whole range..
