Newbie struggling with making edge connector

oldtech1000

Hi,

I am having trouble trying to make an edge connector in eagle.

I wish to make a PCB that plugs into a 20 pin edge connector, to make an extender board.

The board consists of only 20 tracks with a spacing of 0.1 inches. No components, just the tracks.

Have not been able to find anything in libraries,tried to modify other connectors but all appear to want me

to connect to other components (other than the tracks).

I am sure this is very easy for experience Eagle users but not obvious to a very New Newbie like me.

Thanks for your help

Regards

George

  • One of the comments above struck me funny - did you use the "wire" in the

    schematic or were you referring to the board layout?  When doing the

    schematic, you need to use a "net" to draw the connections and not "wire"

    (why you don't use a wire to wire something is beyond me, but that is the

    way it is).
