PSoC 5 PCB Design Using Eagle

e14 Contributor

I'm new to PCB design and would like to use Eagle CAD to create my own PCB using the PSoC microcontroller. To help myself learn, I'd like to first model the PSoC 5 in Eagle along with a USB interface to program it, and respective power connections. I've already made an Eagle library part for the PSoC 5 but have no idea where to go from there. How do I properly read the datasheets to know and learn how to make connections? I'm new to all of this so please let me know if there is any information I'm missing. My first goal would be to program the PSoC 5 with the USB interface to control a simple servo with a PWM signal. Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

    Thanks for the advice John Beetem. But my idea isn't to buy a kit or something already made. I'd like to design my own PCB using the PSoC 5 microcontroller to take advantage of all the programming software developed for the PSoC already. If I had just the PSoC 5 microcontroller, how would I design a PCB containing just the power connections, a USB interface, and a way to send a PWM signal to a servo? I'd like to do something similar to the FreeSoC (http://freesoc.net/) or EzPSoC3 (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/EzPSoC3). I'd like some suggestions or guidance as to how to read a datasheet to learn how to design everything on Eagle CAD.
