<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks all</div><div><br></div><div>It's been a long time since I did a PCB (1996 or so makes that 24 years :-)). The board turned out to be 61x61mm. I used Kicad which worked pretty well.<br></div><div>Cost NZD40 including DHL for 10 boards (same as for 5) from PCBWay.</div><div><br></div><div>I liked their online Gerber viewer that gives a high confidence you got most things about right. I suppose others have a similar set up too.</div><div><br></div><div>Now I see how easy it is. I'll probably do a bit more.</div><div><br></div><div>For the curious, it is an SPI-NAND board to plug into STM32-NUCLEO eval boards for some flash file system testing. The NUCLEO is a handy form factor because one carrier allows me to try a wide range of different STM32s from F3s running 100MHz up to F7s running 480MHz.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Charles</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 30, 2020 at 5:46 PM Stephen Irons <<a href="mailto:stephen@irons.nz">stephen@irons.nz</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div id="gmail-m_5180273072527039599geary-body" dir="auto"><div>I have always used PCBWay </div><div><br></div><div>US$30 for 24-hour fabrication, US$120 for 12-hour</div><div>US$18 for DHL 3--7 day delivery</div><div><br></div><div>This includes white silkscreen and green solder mask.
