How to Lay out LED's for a clock

rjwheaton
rjwheaton over 16 years ago

I'm trying to lay out a pcb with an led at each point of the clock. I want to draw guidelines from a center point out to the "face" of the clock for placing the LED's but I can't figure out how to tell Eagle the exact angle I want for each line. I appreciate your assistance.

    I may be wrong, but isnt a clock just a 360 degree circle? 0=12 , 30=1, 60=2, 90=3, 120=4, 150=5, 180=6, etc?

    Yes, that's correct. My problem isn't knowing where the "hands" go, but learning how to draw guidelines with polar coordinates. If I had a single example of, say, how to draw a guideline from a point to a given distance at a given angle, I would be home free.
