![]() After grappling with the software for a while, Eagle finally let me place components. I spent 45 minutes going through troubleshooting forums online - it turns out the problem was a combination of an older version of Eagle (I was running 7.6.0 when the newest version was 7.7.0) and the fact that the fab library I had downloaded had somehow been corrupted. I ran into some trouble right off the bat when I began placing schematic components from the fab library in Eagle and noticed that Eagle wasn't letting me move said components. I've worked with Eagle some before in the past, but with only having access to one layer for this project (such is the nature of milling our own boards instead of creating custom PCBs with multiple layers) I was looking forward to the challenge of routing wires on this setup. In addition to the base design that was provided, we had to add an additional button and LED to give the board new functionality. ![]() ![]() After spending the day in class learning about the various electronic components and how they work (more or less), it was our task to replicate the "hello" board example using an electronic CAD software like Eagle so that we could print the board and solder components on to it. For this week's project, we return to the land of electronics and tiny surface-mount components. ![]()
