Hello,
New to PCB design and manufacture. I am a hobbyist I make replica race car steering wheels and would like to have a custom PCB to mount hardware to.
I will be using a seperate controller board so all the custom PCB needs to be is just a breakout board from the controller. The controller board is a Leo Bodnar BU0836A-NC 12-Bit board.
http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=219Basically I just want to recreate this board made by Cube Controls, but to my own shape.
These are my renderings of the steering wheels that I make.
This is the shape that I would like the board to be. The Cube Controls breakout board has a IC, possibly for the extra bits that are on there I'm not sure why exactly. But all I am looking for on this board is to be a breakout board with surface mount momentary pushbuttons, pins to mount 3 rotary encoders and pins for two shifter paddles that use a regular momentary switch.
The outline of the board is just a really quick snapshot of the shape, I can get a more accurate file of it in .dxf
I'm looking for advice or help on how I can get it designed to get the gerber files to have one of the custom PCB shops make them. It'll be pretty low volume probably starting out with a run of 10 boards.
I've watched a number of EEVblog's on this topic, but still don't have a concrete direction with help on how to get it designed.
I'm not an EE and don't know how to use PCB design software, I could learn it, but for the sake of time/cost opportunity I feel it may be more optimal to just hire it out.
Thank you!
Zach
