Hi,
I've never designed any PCBs before and this is something I wanna try. I'd like to start off with something really easy. I wanna make a 100mmx80mm board with only through-holes all over and make some connections between those points. So basically just a protoboard with integrated wires on it. I know it sounds silly, but I feel this is a good way for me to start.
I'm reading a lot of stuff online, including the excellent documentation on Sparkfun's site. But I might be a bit overwhelmed with information at this point, considering the very simple nature of my design. For example, the holes I want, are they "via"? and how do I make put them with the same spacing as a breadboard?
Can anyone give me a bit of information about this? Or perhaps share such a basic "protoboard" design so I could fiddle with it?
Thanks.
