HowTo: 128 chan derivative of Hill's 320 design w/ PCB and Linux driver
( Don Law)
Step 2 : From schematic to PCB layout
|
| | The schem2pcb utility in GEDA will take your schematic
and convert it to a PCB layout. I used a 2 layer PCB.
After you convert to PCB, you have to layout the components and connect
all the "networks" (Networks is what GEDA calls the traces).
You can download the
board.pcb and
board.net for
my final PCB layout for the pcbtool
from my website if you want to play with them in GEDA.
If you just want the final product, you can get
the zip file
that contains all the RS274-X files that you would need for
a PCB vendor. (The silkscreen has a copyright on it, but you are free to use it for any non-commercial purpose.)
I used olimex (olimex.com) to do my PCB. They can do
a quantity one prototype board for under $50 including
shipping. This page shows a photo of the PCB board
as it came back from olimex.
