PCB etching in 30 minutes

Here is a very interesting PCB etching guide that is perfect for rapid prototyping.  I like how sparse the material usage is by using a sponge to apply the ferric chloride etchant and home much control you gain.  If my planned PCB milling adventures go nowhere (doesn't start well with the post office loosing my package of PCB engraving bits) this is what I´ll try next.  Heck, I might do it anyway since it's so quick.  Wonder how easy it is to do double sided boards with this technique.

The arrival of the Sumpod

It's finally here. I'll be posting more about my unpacking and assembly experience soon. For now you'll just have to admire the smaller than expected box of wonders.

I have already secured some primer and paint.  The color scheme will be white internals and navy blue externals. The paints are local brands.

This should keep me busy during the weekend :D
