Hi
I am interested in having an open source PCB design manufactured. I was originally looking into home etching and found some great examples; but after eventually getting the open source Gerber files to open in some software and looking more closely at all the dimensions I realise that the design is quite small and uses SMT components.
As I have zero experience I was wondering how I would proceed with getting a design manufactured.
Should I simply find a PCB manufacturer and send them the designs with all the components?
Can anyone offer any experience on this?
Thanks a lot.
