This is the bottom view as a completed
board would look, not
a mirror image as used by the transfer method of making pc
boards. The red lines indicate three jumpers that must
be installed first when assembling the board because these are located
on the top side
under IC's.
This is for reference only, should you want to use the same general
layout. Everything is to scale except the holes for IC's,
resistors, capacitors and diodes may be too large. I have the
holes larger on this drawing because I use a pen plotter with an etch
resist pen to make my circuit boards and this size allows for the extra
width from the flow of the ink.
The layout for this circuit is critical to power and return ground
paths. The layout presented here has been refined and does work,
however, there is always room for improvement. Let me know if you
have a better way. I haven't considered surface mount, but it
should be easy to implement.
