Make Your Own PCBs with EAGLE: From Schematic Designs to Finished Boards

Více o knize

Chapter 1 introduces printed circuit boards, detailing surface mount and through-hole techniques, prototyping, and installing EAGLE Light Edition. It covers the first run, loading example projects, third-party software installation, and the limitations of the Light Edition. Chapter 2 provides a quickstart guide on creating new projects, drawing schematics, conducting electrical rule checks (ERC), and laying out boards. Chapter 3 discusses components and libraries, comparing U.S. and European circuit symbols, and covers resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, connectors, and sourcing components. Chapter 4 focuses on editing schematics, exploring the schematic editor's anatomy, command toolbar, nets, busses, and includes a worked example of a sound meter. Chapter 5 delves into PCB layout, experimenting with layers, command toolbar usage, grid settings, and layouts for both through-hole and surface mount designs. Chapter 6 addresses PCB fabrication, including Gerber files, CAM jobs, and various fabrication methods like photo etching and milling. Chapter 7 covers soldering techniques for through-hole and SMT, including tools and methods like hot-air guns and reflow ovens. Chapters 8 and 9 present examples of an Arduino shield and a Raspberry Pi expansion board, respectively. Chapter 10 discusses commands, scripts, and user language programs, while Chapter 11 focuses on creating libraries and parts. The appendix offers addition
