    Hi,

     

    I have a basic RS-422 schematic design and require a small batch of prototype PC boards to be fabricated from this design. Is there a design house that can pick up the manufacture of PC boards directly from a schematic? I realize this is a broad question but need a starting point. Management wants to farm this out and get some boards to work with in hand. It seems the emphasis is not on attention to completing PCB design, but on getting someone who is familiar with PC board design tools to examine the schematic and come up with a best case scenario and boards to begin working with.

     

    Thank you for your input.

    Dave,

     

    You can email your schematic and Bill of Material to  support@sunstone.com

     

    Sunstone can give you a quote for doing the layout out of  the PCB, manufacture of the bare pcb  and having it assembled with components by one of the companies they work with such as Screaming Circuits.

    Thanks Phil.

     

    I missed seeing their capability to do board layout design. I appreciate your response!
