I don't know how you're generating your functional equivalent of a negative. If you're using software to generate your "negative" or equivalent, try generating a "pour" GND or Vcc-connected plane on the part of the board that you don't otherwise use. I'm using software, and a laser printer. Normally, I make my ground and VCC planes as large as possible in my circuits. This is not my problem. If you're drawing your traces on the board with a pen of some sort, be sure you're using a truly opaque ink. I did that at the very beginning, before I ever got into microcontrollers, and after a while, it did not work well with me. As soon as I went to the photographic method of doing circuit boards, I stuck with it. And now that I have a laser printer, the detail is very nice. One thing for sure is that I will have to thicken my tracks. It Seems that 0.26mm wasn't good enough. As I said, I did NOT make it to the etching stage yet. |
