What is Eagle? • A software which provides the environment to create PCB data files. • Total 10 data files called Gerbers. • Each of which contains data of a specific layers.
Eagle Basics • Schematic : • Can create a rough design • Can browse various components • Can name them ,assign values and connect them • Board • Can adjust the position of component • Route wire lines(auto route or manual) • Create data files
Getting started • Add – adds various components to workspace • Name – names components(if you name two nets same then they get connected) • Value- assigns value to component • Net – makes electrical connections • Label- labels parts • Move – moves parts • Delete- deletes parts • Sheet –creates new sheet
Name – names components(if you name two nets same then they get connected)
Grid • Grid – 1. size –width of a grid 2.multiple- it shows every (multiple no)th line but you can still route nets according to size
Grid Mil Inches Mic Mm Distance b/w two nearest holes in breadboard is 0.1 inch 1 inch = 2.54 mm 1 inch = 1000 mil 1 mm = 1000 mic
Option • Assign – assigns shortcut keys for commands. • User interface-select background color ,mouse wheel zoom ,command icons etc.
Board • Route- makes electrical connections (manual) • Auto - makes electrical connections (automatic) • Rip-up-deletes a electrical connection • Via – creates a pad to change layer • Erc –shows electrical errors • Errors – shows design errors • Drc- sets clearance of board
Route Select layer Options for pads and routing Select route
Creating gerber files • Click on cam job icon • Go to file>open>job • Select file named “sfe-gerb274x”(can be downloaded from sparkfun.com) • And then process job.
Creating new components • In eagle control panel click File>new>library • Click on new device ,package ,symbol and write name of the component.
Device • Finally go to device add package and symbol to workspace. • Connect pins and pads. • And save file to c c>program files>eagle>lbr • Go to control panel right click on libraries and click use all. • Now you can use your new device.
