Using nets on Eagle

Hey guys, I'm having problems when organizing components with nets on

Eagle.

 

Here's my schematics. I'm building a arduino with a zif for the

atmega, a rf receiver module,

a button, a relay and a switch.

Okay, the problem is, that. When I pass the schematics to Board

everything get's messed up.

It is normal for all the components to be there in a group when you craete a

board from a schematic.  You need to place them where you wish within a

board outline.

Then obsereve the airwires. These equate to the nets on the schematic These

you turn into traces with  the ROUTE command or , if you must, the

autorouter.

Or when I use the Autoroute command,

how can I autoroute it so there's only the top layer? (mainly because

I only know how to print in the top layer)

 

• • • Your design shows through hole components so I suggest you create a

bottom layer if your are going to etch and drill  a single sided board

yourself.

Well, after autorouting, everything gets more messed up

• • • Again, "messed up"???

The autorouter takes quite a bit of understanding. It's not magical. Read

the manual.

So I wanted to make it more organized making two more trails - one

for vcc and one for gnd.

How can I do that? Do you guys have any tips or tricks for me? I

started using Eagle this week.

 

Read the manual and tutorial in the docs folder of your installation.

Find tutorials on the web. There are plenty of YouTube videos

Eagle will frustrate you if you don't

All the best
