Circulair PCB

Hi Ruud,

This is easy to do using a script; for example if your LEDs are designated D1-D32, then D1 can be moved using:

MOVE D1 (x y)

where x and y are the co-ordinates

Rotation:

ROTATE Rz D1

where z is the angle in degrees.

You could create the script (text file) manually or using software.

How do i get this circle devided in 32 simulair parts?

How do i rotate a component (shape) in degrees?

polar coordinates?

For this many LED's it's easy to write a program to produce a script.

Attached is a program written in C that will do this.  Also attached is

the Eagle script that this program produces.  The radius is a bit small,

but it's good enough for demonstration.  Adjust the center point and the

radius of the circle as necessary.

Since this forum has problems with attachments making it to the web

portal, I have included the source inline.

C Program:

/*

• Program to produce an Eagle script to position

• a number of LED's in a circle about a point.

*/

#include <stdio.h>

#define LED_COUNT   32

// Dimensions are in mm and degrees

// Center of circle

#define CENTER_X    20.0

#define CENTER_Y    20.0

// Radius of circle

#define RADIUS      20.0

#define ARC_STEP    (360.0 / LED_COUNT)

int main() {

    int led;

    printf("Grid mm;\n");

    printf("Mark (%.2f %2.f);\n",

        CENTER_X, CENTER_Y);

    for (led = 0; led < LED_COUNT; ++led) {

        printf("Move LED%d (P%.2f %.2f);\n",

            led + 1,

            RADIUS,

            ARC_STEP * led

            );

        printf("Rotate =R%.2f 'LED%d';\n",

            ARC_STEP * led,

            led + 1);

    }

    return 0;

}

I might also add that this could very easily have been done in a ULP

The second format specified should be "%.2f" instead of "%2.f".  This

Hi Ruud,

You could in addition to Chuck's suggestion try out the

component-array.ulp that is up on the website.
