thank you you are awesome!!!!!!!!!

[snipersquad100]

why is my board window white and not black like yours?

@snipersquad100 See Options -> User Interface. You can change the colors there.

at 5:34, you said 'top' instead of 'bottom', and thanks for the video bro, Good job!

[wowzerscheeseball]

@rrlamichhane i noticed that too.

good catch!

Ok, now after my last comment on your previous tutorials about the grid... looks like you should really be moving your components based on the location of the holes, not the center of the part. Hopefully Eagle can snap component pads to the grid... then you won't have to keep messing with the grid settings.

[rpcelectronics]

@MonkeyFCoconut I understand that my method is a bit unorthodox, but I am used to it now and it works for me.

I've seen all the tutorial, and then I try to buil a pcb. But when I try to draw route dont happens anything! And I dont look the thin yellow lines between the pins that I connected to eachother in the shematic. Whats my mistake?

[tenko45]

Great tutorial. If I need to keep IC1 vertically to save space, could I put other components on its shown horizontal position?

[DonEduardo954]

A quick thanks. Well done.

[lagiea]

great tutorial.

[N2CUA]

I thought you had rotated those .1 caps 90 degrees ? Did I miss you rotating them back ? Anyone on here, along woth Jason, thats really good with this software that doesnt mind helping via email, can you email me at RJ3819@yahoo ??

I am doing an Eagle work, but my project has more parts and connections than this one. Is it ok to just join the circuit like if it was in schematic and place the parts in a random way?

[rpcelectronics]

@H3ADSH0TER That is hard to answer without knowing what you are designing and without seeing a schematic. In general the answer would be NO. Almost all electronics, in some way need to be arranged in a logical way. This may be as complicated as keeping runs short to reduce the chance of noise induction or simple as logically placing parts so your runs are simple and do not have to run all over the board to get from point A to point B.

I've been working with some other PCB software because i found

Eagle really hard to get grips to.

I've already watch 7 of you lessons and the're great stuff.

Thx for posting and doing all that fine work.

I'll probably make the switch to eagle as well.

[renekenshin6573]

Sir Jason thank you very much for this great and wonderful tutorial you posted here, it really helps newbies like me to fabricate our own pcb's. I thought i would never learn to use pcb software tools like this one because i tried others already but it was too complicated for me, especially without a video tutorial like yours. Again thank you very much, your one of the best things that happen on Youtube :)

[javo0112]

thank you for your tutorials

[Monastor]

Great tutorial man. I've had a hard time finding the features I needed and you just made it all crystal clear. That's a piece of excellent job you've done there!

[ExodusNaixus]

Thank you very much for taking the time to put this together. I registered just to write on your videos. Please continue your a great instructor.

[guruofsoda]

So much easier than reading through tutorials. Thanks a bunch!

[neogoo123]

ya thanks, i just downloaded it and if it wernt for you i would look like a flying duck without a wing lol

[legogunguy001]

thank you verry much

[porchlight70]

Attn Mac users: Use command key rather than control key to snap to the grid. I agree with the other posters - this series is a great start to learning Eagle. Very straightforward and easy to follow. Many thanks for these posts!

[DHOMI84]

thanks a lot for the series man. it really got me into the the program. waiting for the rest of it.

thanks again.

[sevenboarder]

Thanks for the vids, they've been a great help!

Just curious as to the rational on holding ctrl and having everything snap to grid vs. not and letting the components have infinite freedom. It seems like you keep going smaller on the grid size to get things to act more as if they weren't aligning to a grid. I'm sure there's a good reason???

[indoctrin8ed]

Good stuff. I've yet to even install the software, but yet I feel like I can jump in and go, and all the weird non-conventional object management UI features would have just bogged me down otherwise.

[samanthms123]

man.. awesome tutorials.. !! :) 5/5 stars

but where the heck is lesson 9 ??

[rpcelectronics]

I JUST got back tonight after being out of town for two weeks. I will be working on and posting parts 9 and 10 this weekend.

Sorry for the wait.

[odourboy]

Great stuff Jason! Now, where's lesson 9? I need to know how to use the POLYGON tool for ground plans! :-)

[rpcelectronics]

That is coming. One of the last things I will teach you in the series. Last, but very important feature.
