Ask HN: I need to build a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), any suggestions?
I am looking to build/design my own circuit board. I am a CS student and have some knowledge with the process, but I would like to expand that knowledge, how would I go about doing so?
Specifically, I am looking to design, build, and program a PCB. I would like to communicate with the bluetooth on my phone and use/interface with a rechargeable battery.
- yzzxy 13y agoThis may be a little early to consider but there are several websites that will allow you to get a PCB printed (multilayered and silk screened) at small sizes and in small runs (~3 copies) economically by filling a larger order with a number of boards and cutting the board into the component orders. Generally you will upload your Eagle files or whatever and then watch a progress meter for the next board fill up over a week or so until it is ordered and shipped. Great way to save cash when prototyping. I am on mobile currently but I will link to an example when I get home.
