B brodin New Member Mar 20, 2004 #1 I am thinking of ordering PCB:s from Code: http://www.futurlec.com In the options on that site about the PCB you can choose between: Prototype Singlesided Doublesided What is prototype boards? The explanation says: "Prototype boards are single sided only, without silk-screening and solder mask. " The only thing that differs from prototype and singlesided is silk-screening and solder mask, right? But what is that? Do you know any other good firms that makes PCB:s for you sheep?
