My First PCB Design

25 February 2009

Pretty proud of this. My swap with Steamboat Ed leads me on a three week odyssey through the vagaries of PCB layout, a completly new skill for me. Results thusly. Is that not a gorgeous thing? It's colorful and yes, I hung it on the wall in my room.

Schematic and board designed with EagleSoft EagleCAD free PCB software. Knowledge by Instructables, couldn't have done it without the Instructables.

What is it, you ask? It's a driver circuit to control 12 valves from a BASIC Stamp microcontroller. It's the board for Steamboat Ed's calliope (like a pipe organ).

Here's a shot of a test-fit of some of the parts.
