i need to make a small and relatively simple single sided pc board.
how easy are these do it yourself etching kits to use? and are the results pretty good?
i would expect there to be a learning curve, but after learning i would like a quality board that doesn't look like a hot steaming pile of dog poop if you know what i mean! :)
thanks guys

http://max8888.orconhosting.net.nz/pcbs.htm no UV light is needed, the solid black blocks the etch.
It's a lot of work for a simple board.

has spring loaded contacts so you don't even need to solder. Just use 22 guage wire to make connections.[ Parent ]
I find DIY either too expensive or too time consuming, compared to PCB123, etc. G-[ Parent ]
You can even do it the old-fashioned way, if it isn't too complex: No PCB program or laser printer, just tape and an x-acto knife![ Parent ]
You don't even necessarily need a laser printer: You can print it out on regular paper with an inkjet (or even draw it by hand!), then have that run through a copier onto the correct paper.[ Parent ]
