Vast thanks to the help of my esteemed friend <a href="http://www.charlottefurneaux.com/">HappyThawts</a>, we finally got out a board of usable quality! Woot! We used a <a href="http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardSerialSingleSided3">single sided Arduino</a> pattern I found (saved me some seri</p> <p>ous time). And followed a <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Sponge-Ferric-Chloride-Method-Etch-Circuit-Bo/">fairly well documented process</a> involving use of Ferric Chloride, Acetone, Clothing Irons, Cheap Magazine Paper, Water and patience.</p>
