I’ve been looking for someone to help with a PCB project for a while but everyone I find is either far too expensive or a bit over the top for my needs! I’ve tried getafreelancer and a couple of other similar sites but just seem to get bombarded with generic responses that don’t fill me with confidence! Can anyone suggest the best place to look for someone? Just need someone to turn a couple of really simple single sided schematics into a PCB and maybe hand hold me through the PCB batch production process, is there someone on here who fancies helping out and needs some extra cash? If this is in the wrong place then please let me know 🙂 ---

I’ve done a number of board layouts for myself but am by no means an expert. I’m not very good with RF though. I’d be willing to help free of charge ---

I’ve designed quite a few boards myself too. Maybe I could help. ---

I think I can help you. I sent you a PM. ---

If commercial, I’d have to charge you (but I do have low rates ). I use Eagle versions 4.16r2 and 5.7. I’d need to see a schematic, preferable in EAGLE format, or a PDF or a hand drawn scanned schematic. I’ll need to know where you want connectors, mounting holes, displays, etc. A parts list (Bill of Materials [BOM]) would be needed as well so that I can design the board correctly. I’d send you the EAGLE files, including library files, and the Gerber & NC drill files needed for manufacturing at a board house. Let me know what you’d like to do. -Dave Pollum
