My $0.02

Back in ~2005 when I discovery MMjoy project (grandpa of MMjoy2) in (RiP) Sukhoi Russian forum I know nothing about PCB, electronics, only basic solder.

But want try one since parts needed are affordable, then my fist PCB was hand drawn with mark pen - resulting a Fred Flintstones job, but that work.

After I try some PCB drawings programs, some difficult to master like a Auto Cad (Protheus), but are some very intuitive like Sketchup (e.g. SprintLayout).

Free PCB programs: https://www.electroschematics.com/2249/pcb-design-software/

Drawn a PCB for TLE5010 or redraw some inside Mmjoy2 files is very easy, and DIY a PCB with toner method (see YT) is very easy and cheap and the result satisfactory.

This Mjoy16 (father of MMjoy2) PCB was build by toner method in ~2008 and still working.



Today if you have easy access to OSPark service, no reason for DIY. Same if have time to await arrive from DirtyPcbs in China.

But if not, DIY is perfectly viable.
