I love the smell of new boards in the morning…

Thanks for all the tips on getting boards fabbed. OSH_Park may prove to be an addictive habit:

Nice! Golden clam haha.

Looks like eagle, but I can't seem to see any top traces? Not into two sided layouts? Also - how do you do the mounting holes. I've seen a few ways to do it, but I'm always worried it'll mess up the board.

Eagle yes. I will go two-sided if I am trying to cram something in a small area. But since this is a BMP clone, I wanted to give the circuit enough room. The holes are just holes! Pick one from the library and plop it on the board. I don't even have a clear idea on how I plan to mount it, just wanted some options. Lets hope it works when I fire it up!

Looks nice!  I like the black (looks black anyway!).  That was pretty fast.  It did not seem too long ago you were asking about fab options.  I guess the turn around time was good.  How many did you have made up?  I'm learning Eagle too-- and headed down that same evil path.  I'm getting close to sending in a fuzz board to have fabbed (although I missed out on my own "Golden Clam")  hmmm sounds asian.  LOL.

I used to really be with it!  That is, until they changed what "it" is.  Now, I can't find it.  And, I'm scared!  --  Homer Simpson's dad

Cool, I never noticed the holes before, thanks.

italianguy - all OSH two sided boards are purple. In my experience, they have it down to between 2-3 weeks from payment to being in your hand.

Good color, stands out nice with the gold vias....
