Hi I'm new to the group. I built a 70 foot long signal cable with temperature sensors and switches arrayed along it. I use past tense because 23 June of last year a lightning strike came through and knocked the whole thing out. Nice big rip full length on a tree in front of the house. So instead of doing "functional" circuitry I have decided to use pcb's and put lightning protection devices on the boards. Need about 10-14 boards.
The board is very simple and all the driving signals are at the computer end of the signal line. Is this all beginning to sound like 1-wire? So how do I build this board in pcbnew without a schema? I looked at the pdf for pcbnew but it assumes schema? Can I just make a 2 X 8 inch pcb outline and go from there? Has anybody done this before? Thanks George Dalla Betta
