Mike.

At one point Cadsoft said you were not supposed to. I have copies of v4.16 and the current beta on my machine and both seem to work.

There are file format changes. Once you work on a file with the current beta (not sure at what rev number it happened) you can not go back to v4.16. And the beta is still a beta. Once in a while unexpected things happen, so far none have burned me.

No warranty implied or given.

I didn't say better. It's cheaper! Also the box around will be cheaper!

Hi 3v0,

this is what I came up with.



Two main differences though:
- original SMD voltage regulator
- no jump

BTW, why does a 1uF capacitor have to be that big? (C4)

its a spacing concern like i dont like things that might touch each other.

No problem with clean traces. Anyway, the cap has a pitch of 1/4inch, big enough to throw a parcel in between.

Boncuk,
Had you posted first saying that you would do the board for Atomsoft I would have let you do so. Why are we still here?

This is Atomsofts board. I wanted to be faithful to his design, keep changes to a minimun. Atomsoft used a SMD regulator on the schematic but his intent was to use a through hole part.

Hi 3v0,

sorry, Germans ave problems with the language barrier sometimes. I didn't get that. Sure, it's atomsoft's board. Therefor I didn't alter anything.

Anyway, my design shows that a double sided PCB isn't necessary using just one SMD component. Just mirror it and route like a through hole component. Saves three drills.

True, but it was the wrong part. I do not want to get into a pissing contest about this. Please.

My board is still 100% single sided i used wires to jump from A--->B since it was only 3 .... i have to say thanks again i find it awsome that all you would help with this...

Thanks Again

I don't either. I've no problems.
