Workbench Corner - Techniques and Methods
OCRG has been using circuit board fabrication products from "Pulsar" to produce many of our system unique circuit boards. These circuit boards range from simple one-sided attenuator boards for our A/D conversion telemetry to two layer fine pitch SMT boards with dual CPUs for processing our weather station data. Pulsar's website contains excellent information on fabricating PCBs using The "DirectEtch" Technique with their complete PCB "Fab-in-a-Box" products.
