I've never made my own board before, so if you guys could critique my process before I drop money on it that would be awesome. Here's what I'm planning on doing.
Design the layout with EAGLE Cadsoft or some other schematic CAD program.
Print the schematic to Photo paper with a laser printer.
Iron the schematic to the blank PCB with the toner side down. Fill in any missing areas with several passes of a sharpie marker.
Etch the surplus copper from the surface with AP solution, and laying the board in a plastic container and gently rocking it around.
Applying the green film to the board by ironing the blank piece to the board.
Drilling the connection holes with a dremmel or drill press.
Applying Silk screen with the white film just like the green film.
Soldering my components to the board.
Plug it in and see if it works.
Is this right? I was also wondering how I would know when the board was done etching?
