I'm not sure what version of EAGLE you are using but it looks like Pedro is using an older version as the export tool has changed quite a bit compared to the version in his example. Those 0.5mm pitch flex cables are a pain to deal with, plus there are a few caps and resistors that are needed, so I am spinning a board to hold all that together.As Pedro states, you can export the libraries used in a design very easily. After that, you get assigned to the next panel going out and get a nice confirmation page with a render of the board.Īnd now we wait! In case anybody is wondering, this is indeed a Sharp Memory LCD breakout. You are taken to a page to enter number of sets of three boards you’d like to order, as well as the shipping info and paypal/CC info.
Once you review all layers and click approve button, It will take a bit to upload after which a preview of the board appears.Įach layer is rendered in a very clear and easy to understand format, with detailed instructions and specs by the side. First, drop the archive onto the upload bar in the middle of the page. You can omit paste, assembly and board (not board outline!) files as they are not used for manufacturing of the PCB. Create a zip file with relevant files (all the files listed above). Here is what they look like in DipTrace (Under Verificaton, Design Rules)Ĭlick Auto to populate tools table. Ideally those are setup at the beginning so that you do not have to deal with things being too close or two narrow after the fact. Lets walk through the steps of ordering these boards.įirst you need to check that the design complies with the design rules listed. So a 2 square inches board in three copies will cost you $10 delivered from a US based board house! That definitely opens the door for quick prototyping of pretty much anything! After having used other company’s prototyping services, I must say OSH is also by far the most user friendly. The cost is very reasonable ($5 a square inch) and you get three boards.
He runs a community PCB service that groups orders and orders them periodically on a common panel, sharing costs between all people. The remaining options are a few China based places such as Itead Studio, Seeed Studio ,PCB Pool and Batch PCB ran by Sparkfun, and an OSH Park ran by Laen from Dorkbot. The usual ways of ordering PCBs are rather expensive, with just tooling fees in hundreds of dollars. Well, my test design is complete and now I need a few prototypes to play with.
