I found a useful link for those who might need to know what kind of trace width is required on PCBs to carry a given load. If using BatchPCB to have your design fabricated, use 1 oz/ft^2 for thickness. http://www.circuitcalculator.com/wordpress/2006/01/31/pcb-trace-width-calculator/ |

Thanks Eric, that will be useful when I am actually ready to make a PCB. I saw you are selling a couple of your designs on the the site but I didn't understand it very well. Are you selling only the design, or a PCB, directions, components, or all of the above? |

The way they price the designs for sale at Batch PCB: the sale price includes the PCB fabrication cost and any profit for the designer. I've put my designs up for sale at about a 5% mark up over the fab cost - I'm not going to be rich from the royalties any time soon. If you want any of the designs, I'll give them to you with schematics and board layout, but they are pretty function specific. |
