Hole Sizes = 0.031」(~0.8mm), 0.0394」(~0.89mm), 0.051.2"(~1.3mm), 0.0630」(~1.6mm), 0.0787」(~2mm), 0.125」(~3.18mm)
(NOTE: 0.0394」 is the standard, if you have holes that are not listed we will drill them as 0.0394"))

PCB SoftwareEasyPc Pro 8 Full version unlimited board size (current version V8.0.12)This is a Very good package, which can be used to design your schematics and PCB layouts.
It has extensive libraries containing all the components used in the laboratory and more including SMT components. It can be used to make any type of circuit from though hole to surface mount and multilayer boards. The program is extremely easy to use and is the most popular among students for final year projects, The software allows quick and easy board design and export functions to transfer design pictures into other packages such as MS word, also it is capable of importing from other pakages such as autocad and eagle.
EasyPC is installed on 4 computers at the rear of the lab.
Eagle PCB Version Lite (limite on board size 10cm x 6cm)
This is a basic PCB design tool and can be used to generate your pcb designs. It is the freeware version and can be downloaded for home use from the cadsoft web site.
It has many features that are the same as easypc but there is a limit on board size because it is the free version.
Eagle is installed on the terminals in the teaching lab and eagle be exported into easypc if needed.
Eagle Tutorial Click Here
Eagle Manuel Click Here

What We RequireThe DesignFor Best results use a minimum of 4 layers e.g. Top Side, Bottom Side, Edge and Silk Screen.
Make sure that the minimum and maximum rules above have not been broken or there could be complications when making the board.
You will need to convert the pcb design into a Gerber format for copper tracks and silk screen and NCDrill Excellon format for drill holes.
A Gerber format produces a number of different files depending on the layers used in the design. (sometimes an aperture file is required depending on package)
The NCDrill / Excellon Format, This produces 2 or more drill files suppling the tool data in one file and hole placement data in the other.
All pcb designs and files must be given on disk to us (recommended) or sent via email and you must hand in a 1:1 print out of the circuit showing drill hole sizes incase of import and conversion problems.

MaterialNormally you have to supply the board.
Standard board (Fr4 Epoxy glass) can be purchased from Farnell or RS, if your design is high frequency I would recommend Rogers RT/duroid which is a very good supplier of material. www.China-low-cost-PCB.org///www.China-low-cost-PCB.org.....rogerscorp.com.
All PCB Material used must NOT be layered with photo resist, if your board comes with it make sure you remove the resist first.
The we keep a small stock of FR4 ( Data Sheet ) Single sided and Double sided, you can use this board for your project depending if it will fit your design, if not you will have to purchase some from farnell, rs or maplin.
