Anyone here able to help with Printed Circuit Boards?

[Nicko]

Hi Guys,

I know this isn't really an automotive topic, but I desperately need some help if any of you are able to help with drawing up a PCB Gerber file up from a JPG image of an existing PCB?

The PCB itself is single sided and only small 75mm x 45mmish, if I knew what I was doing, I would probably be able to do it myself in a couple of hours. But since I want it to work, I was looking for an expert.

So, any eletronics types out there in AE86DC land?

Cheers

Nick

The only bloke I know that is good with that stuff was from bossarea forums and he was in NSW or VIC... Not even sure if he is still around. Maybe hit up one of the nerds at jaycar?

edit: also, what are you making?

I got given a guitar FX pedal back in 2002 that belongs to a friend of my cousin. The intention was to restore the pedal and make one for myself, but I have a few more people interested now, so all I need is a Gerber file and we can get a run of maybe 10 done in China...

Thanks for the info... Looks like the going rate is about $150 / $250 per hour to get it done, so I might have a crack at it myself.

I suggest the OCAU forums

HAHAHAHHAHAH OCAU old times, there would be plaenty of people on there that could do that easly for you

what sort? i'm a bit of a collector myself!

[Nicko]

A 1970's fuzz pedal made by Jen (Italy?) called the Jen Fuzz FZ-III

The owner is apparently a huge Led Zepplin freak, and the pedal has a great 70s sound.

I was also thinking of tweaking / making FX myself at some stage too.

my dad is an electronic technician, he does PCB prototyping and PIC programing.
shoot me through a copy of your pcb design and i'll get to have a look at it for you.

Craig, you're like the Swiss Army Knife of AE86DC... lol

[mrbigport]
