Help with Creating Board

e14 Contributor

I've finalized my schematic for my project but I'm having trouble

converting this to a board - a lot of the air wires (especially around the

voltage regulators, where I'm starting with laying them on my board) don't

make sense to me. As this is my first Eagle CadSoft project, I'm a bit at a

loss of how to really get going (although I've watched some tutorials on

YouTube, they seem to simple compared to my schematic).

 

Any tips/tricks/tutorials people can point me to? Alternatively, is there

anyone in the Toronto area who could help me? I would try to attach my

schematic but the .sch file and a .pdf are both over the 50kb limit.

  • I'm not sure that's entirely fair, Joern. I've watched a few tutorials on

    laying out the board but they were all very simple designs. I fully

    understand that the components need to be placed on the board, but what

    surprised me is that after moving just a few the air wires connected to

    pins that didn't make sense. Rather than put all the comps on the board

    with what looked like odd connections, I thought I'd ask first.

     

    As for the colour setting, my Options doesn't have a special setting for

    the board layout; I only see one for the schematic layout which I want to

    leave as white (default). The default for the board view was black, so I

    don't know how it changed if I didn't do change anything.

    Maybe you have watched many but have not DONE things so far.

    Tudorials should be easy imho to learn the handling, the more

    complicated things come by experience.

    I don't have the english version of eagle, but at the very top of your

    .sch/.brd should be a tab "options" and if you click that something like

    "user interface" or similar should show up. Opening that tab another

    menu opens and here on the very top right you have an area to select

    your background for .sch and .brd i.e. white, black or coloured.

     

    Besides, eagle has a build in help or just hit the F1 key.
