[sdiy] PCB layout tips

[patchell]

    Then you haven't looke at my boards. :-)

    If you look at the last page of :
http://www.silcom.com/~patchell/synthmodulesII/200-1017.pdf

    You will see, (hopefully) the power supply traces that run through
the ICs (the power traces are the thick lines).

    For analog, I run the +/- 15 volt lines on the inside of the pins,
and two ground traces on each side.

    BH's suggestion is a good one.  I find doing layouts this way the
cleanest way to do them.  Been doing it like that for years (and I never
subscribed to EN...didn't know about it :-(     ).....
