CadSoft Eagle: Schematic Design
In the course of making my Arduino Tutorial Series (don’t worry, I have more of those in the works), I got a ton of requests for a tutorial series on how to design circuit boards. Now, I’m answering those requests with my Eagle Tutorial Series! Supported by element14 & cadsoft, this series will take you through the process of designing a complete PCB using the very popular Eagle CAD software. In this first tutorial on CadSoft Eagle, I’ll show you how to get the program up and running, how to navigate the interface, how to design your first schematic, and how to use DesignConnect to build a Bill-of-Materials.

CadSoft Eagle: Printed Circuit Board Layout
This is my second CadSoft Eagle tutorial, sponsored by element14 & cadsoft. In this second tutorial on CadSoft Eagle, I’ll show you how to turn your schematic into a board design that you can get manufactured! Specifically, I’ll cover part layout, automatic and manual routing, layer and grid controls, ULPs, ground pours, net classes, and much more! If you haven’t watched my first eagle tutorial yet, I recommend that you watch that first.
