This one's so easy compared with the DC-2 I'm working on.
Why not give it a try yourself?

I can make one after I finished my DC-2, but I don't know when that will be.

Well because that I don't know photoshop well, don't know how to make it accurate dimensions, and others. Just don't know how to do that.

Well,... since I could not finish my DC-2, here's your CS-2 PCB:

If you print with 300dpi it should come out the right size which is 8.84 x 6 cm.

Any tips how to create PCBs from such images? It's looks really cool. Nice job!

look up how to etch pcb on you tube or pcb etching. its fairly easy.

Wow, that was fast! Thank you very much. You are very kind.

Ouch, my bad. A little misunderstanding here...

I'd like to know how he did that nice and clear PCB layout from the pic posted above?

This is how I do it:
I open the picture of the PCB in Photoshop.
I set the resolution to 300dpi.
Then I create a solderpad the same widht and hight as the solderpads on the picture.
Now I copy and place my new solderpad on top of all the solderpads of the same size on the picture.

I regularly hide the original picture and "merge all visible layers" and then unhide the original picture again.

Then I create the other solderpads like the rectangular ones on the CS-2 board, and place them one top of all the solderpads with the same shape.
No I use the "Line" tool to draw the outlines of all the coppertraces.

Again I hide the original picture and "merge all visible layers" and then unhide the original picture again.

After that I use the "Fill" tool to fill all the traces.

And again I hide the original picture and "merge all visible layers" and then unhide the original picture again.

Now I use the "Erase" tool to clear up some space between solderpads or traces that are too close to one and other.
If neccesary I do some small corrections.
After that I type some text using the "Type" tool.

Again I hide the original picture and "merge all visible layers"
Now I delete the layer that holds the original picture.

Then I mirror the image.
Finally I adjust the image size and voila... ready.

Thanks for the solution, next time I'll try to do my own pcb from image.

Here is a pcb for the conversion from original BA662 to BA6110:

There is an error in your board:

Here is without that bug:

Yes, you're right.
When I was making this PCB, I saw there was only a small connection between the 2 solderpads.
So I told myself not to forget to make a connection between those pads.
But I did forget and separated them.

My bad. Sorry.

No problem, as you see I fixed it. Thank you very much again for your kindness and great work.

Hello people, I'm taking a look at the pcb conversion...

am I on the right way?

MWichni · Post by **MWichni** » 03 Jun 2010, 10:17

Hi, I'm not 100% sure about pin conversion. I've made a second layout for this (should be correct, but I didn't tested it yet) PCB dimensions are 4,75 x 2,5 cm. I'm not 100% sure about wire link from pin3 of BA6110 to pin4 of BA662A, please refer to the datasheets and boss schematics.

i've got an original cs-2 pcb board with all the components.
if anyone is interested
