New video added on 04/02/2024 - Go down to last post below


The videos show you how to create a board in DIYLC
Add components like resistors, caps and wires to your board
Load your board into my on line program
Analyze your board and tell you about any errors you may have
Then you can submit your board to me to have it made on my CNC machine

I have a .diy Template File you can use to create boards that can be cut on my CNC machine
You can import this files into a current .diy file and then copy and paste them where you need them
Hoffman .diy template file is here

Info on my on line .diy file analyzer program
After you create your .diy file and you want to have a custom board made, you use the analyzer program to make sure everything is ok with your file.
Then you can submit the file and add your custom board to my shopping cart if you want to have it made
All boards are made on my CNC machine

Then analyzing the board in my on line program
Then adding the board to my shopping cart
