Automatic insert of jumpers

e14 Contributor

I'm working on a simple schematic and, because I'll be etching the board

myself, I'm trying to keep the board single sided. Because it's single

sided the auto-router can do more than 90% of the routing, is it possible

to make eagle automatically add jumpers to complete the board? I can do

this manually, but is there a better solution?

  • I'm learning also but have found to produce a single sided board with wire

    links on the top you need to work as a 2 layer board; Follow the following

    extract and you will get the idea.

     

    Layers

    How do I make a single-sided PCB? Go into the Design Rule Checker (DRC

    tool), pick the Layers tab, and change the setup from (1*16) to 1. To

    change it back to a two-sided PCB, change the setup back to (1*16) and

    change the Nr 16 Copper back to .035mm.

     

    How do I make a single-sided PCB with a few jumpers? For home production of

    a single-sided board with a few component-side jumpers, make a two-sided

    board, only produce the bottom side, drill the vias as component pads [need

    to check what shows up in the drill file] and stuff jumpers where the

    top-side traces would go.

     

    How do I change layers while routing a trace? With a three-button mouse,

    use the middle button to change layers while routing traces. With a

    two-button mouse, click to set a waypoint, go up and change the layer in

    the drop-down box (don't worry about the weird rubber-band trace that

    follows your mouse around while you're doing it), and EAGLE should

    automatically insert a via, from which you can continue routing.

     

    How do I delete a via? Use the Ripup tool to delete vias. The X it leaves

    behind will disappear after the next routing operation (on that trace? at

    all?) or the next time you click Ratsnest.
