I have a circuit thats based on Proto Stripboard. I built a couple and they work as designed. however I would like a cleaner board so was thinking express pcb or other place to make me some boards up. They have a designer however I am on a MAC and its for PC. If anyone knows of someone willing to help or can do it for a small fee let me know. I want to take the below circuit and add a DPDT relay as shown. I will also have another board I already have jumper wired to this board. This is what the circuit looks like... Any help or referrals will be appreciated...

Hi gunlocators,

here are two CAD tools you might want to use to design your PCB:
1) Free version of Eagle: **broken link removed**
2) Kicad: **broken link removed**

Both provide a mac version.

If you want to collaborate with someone you might want to read about how to write a BOM (bill of materials).

Your collaborator needs the "manufacture part number" or the "specification" (think footprint, value, tempco, etc...) of all your components.



If it's an open hardware project I might be interested in helping you,
what does you circuit do?

Cheers,

DBE

PM Sent with BOM and gerber file I did but think it may be wrong first time using PCB software

On the contrary, this is a fairly simple circuit that would greatly benefit from a PCB construction due to its many different components, AND it's a great opportunity for you to learn PCB design -- an essential skill for electronicians!
