I'm working on a small project to help the Lightning owners with their unique issues running the Comma3x and OpenPilot. I need to get a simple PCB design worked up so we can get a quote from PCBWay or JLCPCB for a parts run. I have a schematic, but am struggling to get the traces done on the actual PCB design. It is a simple design and should only take an hour or two for someone who knows what they are doing.

Please send me a DM if you can help. My schematic is in EasyEDA.

Thanks

Some of the computer geek shows on YouTube advertise a company called PCB-way. I have not tried them, but it seems one can get a PCB made for 50-75 or so. Or maybe that's several? Not sure, was a few years ago I checked out their free designer tool on their website. It takes a sketch and make it more compact, nice layout and all that, maybe even dual layer.

Worth looking into perhaps.

I want to use PCBWay to make them, but I need it designed in the proper software to upload it to the quoting tool. I need help with that design.

I've done a little PCB design in the past, would be glad to take a look at this and see if I can help.
