Hi,
I’m thinking about repurpousing some old hardware as new enclosures. Some of these have PCBs I think I can simply replace. I need to get the footprint right though, both for board-size/shape, and I need some connectors to be in more or less exactly the right place.
Current plan is to drop the old PCB on a scanner, scan it, try to make a matching board in Eagle. I’m not sure about the best way to check the design though. One way to go would perhaps be to render the Eagle design, and simply view it as an overlay of the scanned image in a graphics package (photoshop, gimp or similar).
Anyone have any ideas, or done this before?
