I was just curious where people get pc boards to use with their PIC controllers? I'm assuming it is also possible to just use the development board I'm going to get with my Microchip PIC? Thanks.

Hi Thayer,

I just had PCBs made on Tuesday. They arrive in a few hours (thursday)! Once I test 'em and make sure everything works OK, I'll post the updated schematic and parts list. If that fails, I will run and hide.

It's a pretty simple circuit, though. Two relays, the PIC, the serial or USB interface (there's a choice), and various plugs. Ought to work well for most applications. I'll post an update Thursday evening. I've been scrambling to get a lot done before an event in Las Vegas this weekend. Details soon

cheers, mike
