Cain) Newsgroups: net.micro Subject: Looking for advice on building 10-12 copies of a circuit board Message-ID: <146@python.UUCP> Date: Wed, 3-Jul-85 15:06:14 EDT Article-I.D.: python.146 Posted: Wed Jul 3 15:06:14 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 4-Jul-85 05:35:02 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Bell Communications Research Lines: 29 There was recently an extensive discussion about building onesies and twosies on the net, and I don't recall which group it was in, but net.micro seems a reasonable place to ask this question: I need to build ten or twelve copies of a circuit board, and would prefer not to do it by hand (a wire-wrapped prototype involved several hundred point-to-point connections). How do people feel about some of the options available? - Automated wire wrap done from a complete schematic and a component map by a company like Augat? - Printed circuit board, with quite an expense up front in getting the design and the artwork right. - Something else? Locally, I've heard about bad experiences with the automated wire wrap, to the tune of 5-10% of the wires connected to the wrong post at at least one end, which sounds like a real pain to debug. Thanks in advance, Michael Cain Bell Communications Research ..!bellcore!python!michael
