Hi everyone,
I'm a newby and this is my fist post here.
I have a question about layers but can't find the answer on the forum here.
The problem case:
I want to make a PCB of two layers, 1 and 16.
Because this PCB is etched by myself, the pads on both sides are not initally connected to eachother (with busses is it called?)
Using the autorouter of Eagle, it will create tracks on both sides of the board.
But if I want to mount, let say, an IC socket, I can't reach the socket pins on the top side of the board with my solder iron.
This pin has to be soldered, because some track is connected to that pin.
This problem can be solved in two ways I think.
1. Try to create a 1-layer board.
2. Use vias right next to the pads, so that you can create the needed connection from top to bottom.
Both sollutions are not realy nice.
Are the ways to setup the autorouter to get what I want?
I assume there must be more poeple avout here that are facing the same problem...
Hope to hear tou soon.
