Electronic Design




For this week in Electronic Design,Hello world board desinged in Eagle PCB design software.Following are the steps I did.


Step 1: Downloaded Eagle PCB design software from here.Installation done.

Step 2: After this open Eagle window. Click on File--> New--> Project-->Give project Name (here 'hello world'). Save project. Refer fig.1

Step 3: Right click on Project name -->New-->Schematic .New schematic window will open.

Step 4 : Inside schematic window EAGLE uses a layout grid to make it easy to align components.Turn on grid; selected size:0.05 and alt: 0.025.

Step 12:Adjust components as per feasible for routing and checking with design rules.

step 13: Using Move , Rotate , Rip, locate component packages.

Step 14: Now start routing with executing 'route' command.There is also 'autoroute'option ;But I preffered it manually.Select track width with 'change' command.

Step 15: Check 'DRC'(Design rule check) and remove errors.

Step 16: Change board dimensions with moving a border.Change width to '40' using 'change' command.

When I checked circuit ;there is mistake in routing as GND is not connected to Attiny 44;so I did this manually and board started working after programming.
