I had a go at making my first homebrew board last week, using a
marker pen, some etchant and a needle. First I set out the design
using software I borrowed called Easy PC. I printed the pin locations
on transfer paper and ironed it to the back of the board. Then I put
the needle into an electric drill, and made the holes. Next I drew
the tracks onto the copper side, and experimented putting it into
etchant for different lengths of time, until finally the unwanted
copper was gone. Then I rinsed and cleaned it. Okay, I think I learnt
the following:-
1. A needle leaves indentations on both sides of the board. (not good)
2. Life is easier if the holes are far apart.
3. Life is easier if the holes are far apart.
