learning how to make a pcb

[hyperdallas]

I am interesting in learning it. Anyone learn it recently and can give some tips?

[hyperdallas]

bump =) I am reading a lot about this, cannot find any good programs / tutorials.

My main goal for the hell of it is to buy 1-5 Avalon chips and just experiment with different designs that my mind could come up with.

What is a PCB?

You would be well advised NOT to learn about PCB design ab initio using your precious Avalon chips. These are high performance devices and you need know exactly what you are doing otherwise you'll just create failure.

A couple of links to help you out (you can google for PCB stuff yourself).

PCB design experimentation is best done with cheap, expendable components but _only_ after doing some software experimentation.  Here is a good starting point for free software that will get you started:

Once you have a handle the simple stuff, here is a lite (free) version of what many professionals use:

Good luck.

U probably meant something else, right? ; )

you can make you're own even 2 layer is possible, but if you want to make an asic you need 3 or 4 layer, this can't be done at home.

Yeah we don't do drug synthesis chemistry talk here, if you want to make pcp go on a deep web website i'm sure there are many guides.
