This was the first time I used eagle to sketch out a PCB schematic and I was looking forward to this exercise.I followed Ana’s tutorial for this one. Loading all the necessary libraries was straight forward  and I begun to built the sketch.The image capture below are the second attempt as the circuit I sketched  on the first attempt  yield  errors. In my second attempt I have noticed 2 things in relation to Ana’s tutorial.

1. I found slight difference between the image On step 9  of the schematic to the one I received. I was a bit confused by that but since I ran the check command and no errors was discovered I decided to continue. (see connection from terminal 2 on the button to pin 10

2. when trying to move the new components I received an error message

It took me a couple minutes to figure out how to create space on the board and I realized that you can select a group with the select tool on left menu -once you selected all the items you wish to move  hold control _right click to invoke the menu and select move group option. This will allow you to  shift a group of wires over to create additional space  that will accommodate for the button and resistor R3.

Milling the Board on the Sherline CNC

see my notes from Module 4

Board is milled and stuffed- missing 1 uf capacitor for completion.

HELLO

 

I followed the Providence Lab tutorial

with slight modification I used the Arduino IDE  as my programmer when I did that I got an error message

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

 

My guess at this point is that my board has a problem.
