Print or Draw
Print or draw your circuit on the board, i know mine is bad but i ran out of tonner.
-If you are drawing it, use the permanent marker, if you are using the eagle board file remember to mirror it befor drawing.
-If you are printing it you need to do it in couche paper, then put the paer with the circuit facing the copper side of the board, then use an iron to heat it, slowly n carefully, do it just one minute. then wash careflly the board to remove the paper.
Then put in a plastic bowl one part of water an two of Ferric chloride and put the board with the copper side facing up and shake gently the bowl.
When the rest of the copper is gone wash the board. Finally drill it. Carefully.
