Do you prototype your designs at home first (ie: homebrew your own PCBs) or do you send off your artwork for manufacture right away? If so, what method do you use to homebrew your PCBs?
There's a good reason I ask, but I'll wait for a response first
I don't make my own PCB prototypes, which is probably not a good idea, as I don't have much free time etc. I do make breadboard prototypes to test concepts, such as my ROM switchers. I also made a prototype of my first RGB adapter, as I wanted to make sure it would work before having the PCBs made (even though the schematic to implement the AD724 is included in the datasheet :-P).
You should understand that I have barely read any book, or online tutorials, and I have never taken any courses on PCB or electronic design or theory - I am not much more than a novice. That probably shows on my PCB designs (butt ugly at times & non-standard), but they all work 100%
I'm trying to improve each design, so I am now beginning to look at what pro's say. Which brings me to you. I looked at your profile and followed the link, as I suspected that you know a thing or two about PCB design and electronics. My suspicion was confirmed! Maybe I can pick your brain from time to time :-P I do have a PDF copy of Hill & Horowitz's
The Art of Electronics, but have barely looked at it. I just don't have the time, and there is sooo much information. I'm not sure if there is anything about PCB design in there.
Please show mercy and try not to embarrass me in public forums - I would prefer to be humbled by PM or e-mail :-P
