Re: Printing, just printing PCB layouts
I'm saving the file to Distiller from Ultiboard, not scanning it. I
like the suggestion of using an HP G/L translator. The main thing I
want to do is save the files so that I can upload them to

drawing schematics?
I need to draw some schematics
of my circuits, but I do not have
any software.
Any recommendations on free
or inexpensive software for
this? The simpler the better.
TIA,

Re: drawing schematics?
Hello Dave,
YES! There are some schematic and PCB programs out there. Eagle
Express is a FREE download with ONLY a limitation of board size (4" x
3.2" size board) but it is FULLY functional

Check the Bookmarks area of Homebrew PCBs.
A reminder for everyone- although the list hasn't been here that
long, a lot of people have already asked and answered a lot of
questions. I've posted some

Re: Plated Thru Hole at Home
Hey Adam maybe you should write a produre of your method of making
PTH. I would love to know the costs involved and chemistry. I am not
familar with the BLACKHOLE method. The hardest part is making

Re: Plated Thru Hole at Home
The BLACKHOLE processes is fast, cheaper and safer to run than conventional
electroless copper. This is expected since its aim is to replace the
electroless copper line in the PCB fabrication plant.

Cleaning copper
Hi all,
To make spray-on prp resist work well, the copper has to be cleaned
well. Some things that work: salt and vinegar, salt and lemon juice,
citric acid, and probably lots of others.

Tin Plating
I don't know if you want this around if you have kids, but MG
Chemicals makes "Liquid Tin" -- which plates in 5 minutes. The
contents are nasty -- fluoroboric acid and stannous fluoroborate.

Re: Tin Plating
Why not silver plate your PCB. It's easy to do with "CoolAmp".
CoolAmp silver plating powder is applied to a clean PCB with a damp
cloth pad. Simply dip the damp cloth pad into the powder and run onto

Re: Plated Thru Hole at Home
No doubt it has a use for repairing things that need to be conductive.
I can't see squeezing epoxy into 500-1500 0.032" holes.
Another thing it would not allow through hole connections

Re: Plated Thru Hole at Home
This sounds good. I assume that this is just for hole activation and
standard electroplating is done next to build up the holes. What is
the success rate at home? And estimated costs? I don't want to

Re: Plated Thru Hole at Home
I think this product is just for reworking/repairing traces. Also
imagine if I had a board with 10000 holes. Do you think I want to
spend me time coating each hole.

I think very highly of CADINT. They now have a free version which is good for up to 250 pins. In fact, you are using the paid for version with a license good for 250 pins. That license is

Re: Plated Thru Hole at Home
The cost is not the problem since the carbon dispersion should be available
free from one of the large colorant producers. The dye is similarly
available. I got 20 kg of dispersion paste for $130 AU.
