Vilson,
I'd be happy to send you a board. Also the Eagle CAD design files for it are posted on the eChucK forum Eagle CAD is freeware and cross-platform to Mac, PC, and Linux, so that's why I use it. Well, actually if you use it for profit you have to pay for it, but for us hobbyists it's free. The maximum allowable board size is small but sufficient for many small projects. If you download the files you won't have to reverse engineer the board but I'll send you the last remaining board anyway. It's nothing special, but it will give you the idea of what's going on. Oh, and if you prefer I have one board that's already chopped up into little boards. Please email me (inventor-66@comcast.net) with the mailing list and your preference as to which board you would prefer me to send (whole or chopped up). And especially thanks for participating in the project, I'm sure it will be wonderfully educational.
Les, yes, we use Eagle CAD to our projects too. We're thinking to use other open source tools for design and simulating. There are some software on the KDE platform. About the pcbs, can you send us the chopped ones?
