Category:ElectronicsFrom SPCoast[edit] IntroductionThe schematic and PCB layouts featured here were done using the free tools provided by ExpressPCB, which also provides high quality board fabrication and internet based ordering directly from their tools. The only drawback I’ve found with ExpressPCB is the closed nature of their tools - there is no way to move the schematic or PCB data into other tools such as Eagle. This has not been much of an issue for me, since portability across other tool sets has not been a goal of this project- rather, it has been making it easy for other model railroaders to design and produce their own circuit boards without having to become experts with CAD tools, gerber files, board houses and fabrication constraints… Since many of the designs presented here are based - at least in part - on the designs posted by others on the ‘net, these designs, schematics and PCB layouts are also being made available to the model railroad community. I am not selling these boards. I am simply making the schematics and board layouts available to you for your own use, so you can easily take the Schematic and PCB files referenced on these pages, download ExpressPCB, and have your own boards manufactured. It takes less than 2 weeks (faster if you pay more) and you get professional quality boards. More information:
