I don't bother making boards at home. My designs are generally too complex, too many thru holes and/or vias. Would rather pay a little more for 5 or 10 cards with soldermask, silkscreen, plated thru holes, double sided board with groundplanes.
Or wirewrap up a prototype design where I can make changes if needed, move parts around, etc.
I'm trying to find a custom PCB service as well. Do any of these services provide design service? I have a set of basic requirements (with an SMD Arduino chip) that I need designed.
CrossRoads:
I thought I had answered this as well. For example, here is an SMD board that I offer that will do the basics:
These are interesting. So basically with these I'm getting an Arduino nano without the reset button, USB programming interface, and TX, RX, PWR, Pin13LED LED indicators.
