Re: uBitx Prototype (PCB)

I agree that a Muppet board would be a great way to go, since it moves away from drilling holes. The only way I've had any success with thru-holes was when a friend availed his drill press for me to use. Plus, I went through drill bits like crazy...probably not the best bits and I seem to lack the patience for slowly drilling holes. Also, depending on how the board is laid out, you could use SMD's or standard components. Finally, you could have a thru-hole board manufactured. I've done this with the Forty-9er and antenna analyzer project and if you have enough boards done, the cost isn't that bad.

Nice work, Jc.
I can see this as being easily made with automated equipment, but...
that's a lot of holes to drill at home. And all of them have to be precise.
Is it possible that a muppet style of board would work? I wonder since there are
so many traces on the bottom of the board... Maybe a more modular set of muppet boards?
Any idea of the production cost of this board?
