Hi, I'm new here, I think it would be a good option. Can you implement it? I have little knowledge of programming, although I have advanced with a complement to implement it in BCNC, but it is not the

Hi! I have to make a pcb where are power traces also beside signal traces. The power traces are for the main AC/230v which are going into a relay then out on two outputs. Everything is fine, but! I wi

I now have a couple of years and dozens of successful boards cut on my 6040 router - and some bad ones too. Boards are all cut from 2 1/2 x 4 inch single side pcb stock. I made a jig for drilling hole
