PCB board layout and designing service!

[Hiemal]

Hey all; So, I'm getting really really good at making PCB layouts on Eagle...

And I was curious, would any of you fellow electronics nerds need any PCB's laid out or made?

I'm not 100% sure on how to ... "charge" for the boards, to be honest.

I was thinking hourly, (and yes, I will charge honestly... I'm not going to screw you over.) like $8-10 per hour or something? This may be negotiable.

Typical turn over time depends on the complexity of the board. If it takes longer than 2 1/2 weeks (which it shouldn't!), I'll cut the price per hour in half.

If I take breaks (which I will...), I will take that into account obviously.

I was thinking this would be useful for say, laser diode drivers, plasma speakers, ZVS drivers, whatever. Just give me a schematic, and I will design it. I will also keep all information confidential.

I will go over the design several times once I have finished laying it out, to make sure all connections are proper. If the circuit does NOT work (after you send me a board to test myself!) then I will refund 100% of your money accordingly, and will attempt to fix any errors on the boards. If the error is caused by a bad PCB manufacturer error, then I will not refund any money.

I recommend OSH park for making PCB boards.

I can do double sided boards only. I will require a small up front fee (say, $8), that way if you decide to back out then I'm not screwed for the amount of time I spent making a board.

How does this sound? Let me know your honest opinions!

Bump.

TBH if I designed some schematics and had the means to etch the board I don't really think I'd want someone else to do it for me

hi，
Do you have a website introduce yourself? Like www.NexPCB.com , it has PCB layout service and prototype PCB Fabrication Service.

I could use a layout design if you are up for it. Tried rolling my own circular board on PCB express. Two weeks later I gave up. The circuit is not a particularly hard one, but the software was not as user friendly as it was made to seem.

It can handle straight traces, but not circular ones =_=

I'll need to fit all the parts on a 12mm circular board with a ground ring on the outside, input anode vias at center. 10mm would be better, though I doubt its possible

Short part list:
IC: NCP1450ASN50T1G TSOP-5
Q1: NTGS3446T1G TSOP-6
D1: MBRM110LT1G DO-216AA
L1: CD54NP-100MC [Rough dimension 5.80mm x 5.20mm]
Cin: C1632X5R0J106M130AC 0612
Cout: CL32A227MQVNNNE 1210
C(Pin2): C0805C104K9RACTU 0805


PM me your addy and I'll send the down payment over

im barely a nerd but would boards to make LED grow lights.is that one option you could do.ive always been curious how much it really cost to make one of those high output ones.they want like two to five hundred dollars for something that looks like it cost twenty bucks.

PCB Express is a proprietary service with their own propriety format/software. You would be wise to avoid them and use standard PCB layout formats like Gerbers and software like Eagle to layout your PCB -- all so you don't get stuck with a company like PCB Express. Then you can get your boards fabricated by companies like these (look at the batch type at the bottom).

Robomont:

You could probably roll your own LED grow lights if you want, but often the cost of those lights is because of the specific wavelength of the LEDs. Legitimate LED-based grow lights target chlorophyll A's 662nm peak, and 660nm LEDs are often expensive and relatively rare in quantity. The cheapo and illegitimate grow lights use the cheaper 635nm LEDs that you'll usually find easily in large quantities. Then, in addition to creating a very large PCB, or some sort of mounting apparatus, you'll need to solder up those LEDs and the power supplies. That can be labor intensive, and probably not worth $20 in labor.

Hmmmmm I could use this.

Can I pay you for EAGLE lessons? I need to learn and online tuts don't teach me shit.

Thx
