I&#8217;ve finally got the DMX shield off the breadboard and onto a PCB. It was very exciting for me as I haven&#8217;t made one since high school. Here in Townsville, Australia it&#8217;s a little difficult to find the supplies to make PCB&#8217;s (at least affordably). Ferric chloride seemed to be the most difficult thing to find as Jaycar only sells Ammonium Persulphate which I&#8217;ve been told is quite inferior to ferric chloride. After a bit of investigative work I found out that Solex, an Alltronics distributer, sells it for $15\/500ml (I think they overcharged me, the magazine said $10. sigh $5 I could&#8217;ve spent on&#8230;something!). Not too bad though. You can find the eagle files below if you&#8217;re interested. Also don&#8217;t forget to download the latest Sparkfun parts library. There&#8217;s tons of helpful goodies in there.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DMX Shield\" href=\"https:\/\/nickv.codes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/dmx-shield.zip\">Download Eagle Files<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sparkfun Part Library\" href=\"http:\/\/www.opencircuits.com\/SFE_Footprint_Library_Eagle\">Latest Sparkfun parts library for eagle<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve included a way for people to connect to the board by either mounting a Neutrik MC3FBH1 or to use a connector that also includes connections for a reset button.
