Advice on finding a PCB / Product Designer (individual or company)

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi all,

 

Just started tinkering with electronics after 15 years of programming with a final product in mind (business oriented) - while electronics tinkering is great fun, I've come to realise that to build what I want, it would take me some years to accrue the right skills for the job.

 

I'm keen to create an Action-Cam type product, with a few extra sensors on board.

 

So, does anyone have any advice about finding a PCB / Product Designer (case included)? Any degree of "common sense" is welcome as I'm so new to this realm that I'll happily digest any tidbits, read the longest of articles or strangest of videos...

    Hi Alan,

    I counted the letters 'UK' eighteen times on the page you mention. And yet, the boards are not manufactured in the UK.

    pcbtrain.co.uk have facilities in the UK - and are very good from experience.

    They are excellent for prototypes and have pretty quick turnaround, even on the basic pricing.

    Their parent company (Newbury Electronics) is more than capable of taking on your full-scale production runs when the product matures.

    Newbury can also offer design and development services.
