I got another flawless, perfectly produced PCB by Eurocircuits. This is Revision A of the input panel board I published in the last post. There are only minor changes in the silkscreen and a little bit larger rings around the holes for the LED.
Eurocircuits is not the cheapest board prototyping service, but in my opinion the most reliable with the most precise results I know. If I need the boards in perfect quality or really fast, its still my favourite service. 😄
I also ordered another Version of the board with some small modifications from OSHpark, but it will take some time until it arrives. My idea is to make the final board orderable from OSHpark for an affordable price. Especially for people which have no experience with prototyping services.
If you have any questions, missed information, or simply want to provide feedback, feel free to comment below or contact me on Twitter. 😄
