PCB Projects with Altium Designer

[feverittm]

Our team (997) created an electrical tester that is based on the Arduino base (actually just the AVR chip itself), and LCD screen and a number of passive components. I created the design using Eagle and found it quite easy to use. The design was a simple two-sided through hole layout and it went very smoothly.

I had the boards fabricated by oshpark and found them very reasonable for prototype cost and delivery time. Quality of the boards was also very good. They accept standard Gerber files (from Altium and other standard CAD packages) or directly from Eagle design files. I found their price for production quantities a little high and am sure you can do better from other higher volume PCB vendors.

Some of the folks from OSHPARK are mentors on FIRST teams in the Portland/Vancouver area and they understand FIRST.

While this might sound like an advertisement for them, I am just a satisfied customer.
