[chbot] Anyone making PCBs?

[Carl Ranson]

Some software that people might find useful is Express PCB and Express 
SCM (www.expresspcb.com).  This is really a service that lets you design 
and submit boards for manufacture, but there's nothing to stop you using 
it at home.

It supports two sided boards so I usually design one layer in as the 
veroboard or hobby board i'm using and put the components and links on 
the other layer. You can then check if the layout is consistent with the 
circuit design. Has a good library of components but you can make your 
own if need be.

I would be happy to demo this at the next meet if people want.
