Sidenote to AdamSoft, PIC rarely lockup and don't really need a reset button if your code is solid. Use the watchdog timer instead.
PPS you only need one current limiting resistor 220ohm with just 2 LEDs.

AtomSoft said:Oh yeah thanks again 3v0 Works 100% Thanks!
3v0 said:A PCB is a lot like an oil painting. It is often hard to tell when it is done.
Making a PCB smaller does not always make it better.
3v0 said:When I made the magic switchbox board I had to do it twice. The second time was to make it large enough so mear mortals could solder the thing. The contest sounds fun but I would rather do somthing useful.
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.Pommie said:Guilty as charged.
3v0, do you know if the eagle beta will work alongside v4.16 as I don't want to mess with the license stuff?

AtomSoft said:its a spacing concern like i dont like things that might touch each other.
3v0 said: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.
Boncuk said: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.
3v0 said:True, but it was the wrong part. I do not want to get into a pissing contest about this. Please.
