My company produces 2 boards for a fire alarm system we make. 1 board
is a momentary push button, and a multi-coloured led.
The second board is the same board; however, allows you to connect any
push button / toggle switch and led you wish.
The intent is to allow the user to maintain a existing system using the
new hardware.
My goal is to develop a simple PCB board to interface to this product.
This is simply something I would like to toy with as I have never done
this before.
I'm looking for any helpful information on the process of creating the
board. I've had some limited experience with PCB layout software. But
honestly have never created a board in my life.
Regards and thanks, JW

Hi,
I made a document to cover this a while back, if your looking to do this
without spending a small fortune then check out my pdf that covers
everything you should need to know. There are many ways of going about this,
my way is just what I needed... so do look about...
Hope this helps you.

if you think 10MB is HUGE you must be living in the past, I uploaded it in a
few seconds..... multi megabit connections are wide spread now are they not!
And you dont have to use PCB Express you could use many other packages, the
reason i picked that one is that its very simple to use, its very capable
and it costs nothing.
