For years I've been looking for a way to make some simple PCBs at home. Getting boards fabricated just for a single layer was a waste of money for me. And most at home PCB etching was extensive, used a lot of chemicals, or I needed a CNC router. And now, I found a way to do it using a desktop printer, laminator, and a bucket. I plan on trying the below tutorial and print my own single layer PCB for a surface mount 10F222 based project I have been tinkering with lately. The tutorial seems straight forward, and apparently it takes about 1 hour to complete. Sounds better than waiting for a fab house to make some PCBs.
Can anyone suggest a simple PCB layout tool? I was considering ExpressPCB. But I'm open to other options. I want the simplest program, thoughts?
