Why not using a professional company for making your
PCB, where you can
ask, if everything is o.k. with the layout-data.
We do business with EPN (
www.epn.de) since 1998 and are fully satisfied.
I'm probably going to have the full production run done through either
Eurocircuits, Gold Phoenix, or one of the UK manufacturers (Spirit
Circuits aka PCBSnap, Newbury Electronics aka PCBTrain, Photomechanical
Services, ...)
The other issue at the moment is WEEE and RoHS compliance. RoHS is
fairly easy (don't use SnPb solder, make sure parts are RoHS
compliant...) but I'm having a hell of a time figuring out what exactly
I need to do to appease the Gods of WEEE...
EMC compliance is another matter entirely, although I'm pretty sure the
two dozen or so decoupling capacitors (they cost less than a penny each,
so why not have one per Vcc line?) and the massive ground plane are
going to obliterate any chance this thing has of radiating anything...
Even if it does, the spiffy metal instrument case should provide
adequate shielding.
