Hi there!
When working with a single sided board, is the copper side considered the
top or the back?
Thanks

Hi Glen,
I would prefer components on top and copper on bottom (as it will exist
later in the real world). But it's your choice as long as you tell the pcb
manufacturer what your intentions are.

Hi Carsten
Thanks for the info
I etch my own boards as a hobbyist.
Yes I put my components on the none copper side, just wasn't sure what the
board schematic in Eagle
considers top and bottom. So component side is top and copper side is bottom
makes sense.

Looking at the names and colors of the layers, the bottom layer is in
blue, the top layer is in red.
You can make a single sided board with jumpers by using the top layer
to draw straight lines, then replace these with wire jumpers.
Alternatively, you can use a jumper as a component, but that will
require editing the schematic.
