I’ve just got to have a little boast about my latest PCB. I managed to draw up the schematic and lay out the PCB in just 3 hours start to finish. And anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m quite thorough when designing boards, double-checking measurements and footprints and so on.

Admittedly, I was doing a lot of recycling, about 75% of it was cut & pasted from other boards I have designed in the past but hey, if it gets the board out the door quicker…

In case you’re wondering what it does, it’s a custom RS422 to RS232 Bit Rate Converter I did for a client and of course, the board works perfectly with no design errors.
