7. Electronics design¶
I have no background in Embedded Electronics designing. Neither was I able to figure out what these 1, 2, 3, 4 are. So I decided to blatantly copy the design from here (which I regret later on!)
Since I assumed I would struggle to understand the core job in hand this week, I decided to play on the safer side and stick to the closed source, but well documented Eagle from Autodesk. This week’s assignment is to make a programmable board with atleast an LED & a push button. The board should be able to make an output via the LED when we give the input via the button.
Start page for Eagle
Start a new project with File > New > Project
Start a new Schematic by project > double click on the project to turn on a green button > New > Schematic
Blank page for making schematic
Download fab library for eagle from git
Add the fab library to use
Making sure the library is added
Using the fab library for adding components
Laying out all components
Use the Net tool to add connections to the components
Schematic with all the components connected
Switch to board to do routing
Select the design tool option by Edit > design rules
Design rules changing Clearance parameters
Design rules changing Distance parameters
Seting up auto router Main setup
First design with missing links
Use the ripup; command to do a reset of the autoroute
100% Connections after multiple iterations
Final PCB design after routing
Now we have to do the milling & Soldering of the pcb. The approach is the same as on week5
