OT: DIY Printed Circuit Board ????, For Programable Ignition Options

[Mueller]

MegaJolt EDIS



I'd like to build this PCB if the group buy takes too long to materialize.

I've seen a few websites that show how to make your own PCB and it does not seem too difficult, any pointers or tips or links to an outstanding DIY PCB site??

Thanks

[Mueller]

Update:

I e-mailed the "owner" of the above mentioned PCB that I was talking about making myself:

Hello Brent,
Just a quick question if you don't mind? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I showed your site with the PCB for the MJLJr to a
few EE friends of mine and I got hammered for
wanting to make this board (for myself), they say
that I  cannot legally make it due to the ©
copyright of the board.

Can I get some clarification on this??

thanks,

Mike Mueller

design?!?!?!)

Sure, that's easy. (Hmm, I was hoping that it was a
technical flaw that they hammered you on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

Like the Linux operating system, the MJLJ is
copyrighted under the GNU public license. take a look
at the license at http://picasso.org/mjlj/license.jsp
.

This basically says that you're free to use, copy or
distribute it, but any changes/improvments must fall
under the same license as well, and therefore remain
in the public domain, so it best serve the community.

So the only thing that the copyright indicates is that
the're a license attached to the intellectual
property. that's all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hope that helps.
