Boncuk,
Thanks for your comments, interesting concept about redesigning for both.
My main issue is designing the footprints, I never seem to get them correct, maybe I am just rubbish at reading the datasheets for measurements! lol
Rich,
Again, thanks for the comments, I get on alright with the eagle interface, it is true Proteus is very easy to use! Eagle is a bit more of a either love it or not, I use the "command line" rather than the point and click, I find it a bit easier, I am OK at making the schematic parts (symbols), but I am not very good at doing components, I have read all of the "tutorials" which I must say are not *that* intuitive I find, I can do the ones they provide, but I admit I struggle to make footprints from datasheets.
If anybody has any really good tutorials for interpreting the datasheet measurements into footprints then please share! I'm sure I'm just being thick, but I cant seem to get my head around it, I think part of it is a lot of SMT stuff and BGA/LGA components etc are not very easy to gain confidence in until the prototype is made.
