Re: [TCML] PC boards

[Scott Bogard <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am just building some simple flyback drivers, and I am sick of the 
mess of soldering bare wires directly to dangling diodes and transistor 
leads, and I want something more permanent than a chunk of breadboard.  
Since it doesn't have to be perfect I don't need an incredibly steady 
hand (plus I have a little sister with lots of nail polish experience).  
I planned on drilling the holes and inserting the components before I 
drew the trails to make sure everything goes where it is supposed to.  
Thanks for your help guys.
