Cadsoft EagleCad Tutorial Lesson 11

[sabbath997]

Awesome Videos!

[fishonthefly1]

Hey Jason. Thanks a million for the work you put into this series of tutotials. They were a huge help in learning to use Eagle. This is my first board, so this series really got me up and going quick. Can you recommend a board house. I am considering using DorkbotPDX. They are in the US and seem like a good service that needs the business support.

[rpcelectronics]

@fishonthefly1 I have been using Gold Phoenix for the last 10+ years. They are located in China, but I deal directly with the rep in Canada. Email your Gerber files to Shane at sales (at) goldphoenixpcb (dot) biz for a quote. Usually around $110 for a batch of 1000 square cm. They fix your design into that area as many times as possible. So depening on your board size, your count of boards will vary.

[alliwantedisapepsi]

Big thanks. I'm a total noob to design. I tried eagle 6 years ago and fell on my face. With this tutorial I have a fundamental concept of what I'm doing. You've saved beginners like me a ton of time and frustration. Your a BOSS.

[Spearl236]

Fantastic. thanx

[fonaviPE]

Thank you Jason for setting aside some time to make these videos. Just finish watching the whole series. This is a great starting point for anyone who is new to this software.

[MercuryBOT]

Nice Videos!! :)

[tcsean1990]

thank you 

[coconut1337]

Thanks Jason! Your videos really helped me out in learning the first steps in Eagle. Thumbs up!

[breakbeatkid]

awesome help :)

[ladangelo202]

Thank you so much you made it very simple to learn this software very quickly! 

[jericocampos]

If you don't use vector, the texts will be converted to vector by the boardhouse. sometimes boardhouses don't scale the text.

[suomalainenvoittaa]

How to make a printable picture when you want to etch the board by yourself?

[Pelicwn]

Thanks Jason. It was easy to understand. This 12 videos are very very useful.

[MasterWienke]

Hey Jason,

really nice work. Ur English is very easy to listen to, even for german students at University.. This really helped all of us out! Nice speed on ur actions, but sometimes it would've been nice if u put in a little stop or break so that one can watch u at first, then do it on his own without having to stop the video.

Once again, Thank you!

[rpcelectronics]

@MasterWienke Bitte! Meinen Deutsch is nicht so gut, jetz! Aber, ich kann einen Video auf Deutsch benutzen :o)

[Airman17054]

great videos Jason!! it has really cleared up Eagle and it functions.

Now to go make some boards!

[CaliberMengsk]

I just wanted to say thank you. It's made it so much easier to understand.

[CaliberMengsk]

@CaliberMengsk Just like to let you know that because of your videos I now have my own arduino circuit with a built in 5v regulator. It even passes the DRC check (which you may want to mention they have that test somehow. Very useful.)

[psjacome]

Thanks Jason, excelent job

[Siboney13]

Thanks Great series learned a lot. Where can I go and done load all the libraries available that way can build anything without having to create a component.

[njackvideo]

Thanks for the videos, please post lesson 12.

I need to know how to make new parts do you know of another resource?

[yu1rs523]

Hi Jason, thanks a lot for those wonderful presentations. I'm going to do some more complicated projects and on the first step found a "hard nut to crack". For example - how can I connect Vdd and Vcc to CD4511 or any other logic devices when I making a schematics. Thanks a million for yor answer and best regards.

[yyydanyyyy]

thank you very much for this tutorial !

[Tuttipazzixpizzi]

thanks thanks thanks thanks a lot!!!

[Exit04]

Excellent. Everything i read said the Eagle UI would take time to learn but you made it so easy ! Thanks for taking the time and congrats on doing such a great job. The only problem i had was trying to delete the component values off the silk screen where some values could not be picked-up to be moved or deleted and even in full zoom the wanted silk-screen kept getting grabbed instead. Not a huge problem if one makes sure the values are kept further from the components in schematic mode.

[MatrixOfDynamism]

BEST EAGLE PCB TUTORIAL IN THE UNIVERSE.

[Lakes57]

Excellent Tutorials.

What about board mounting holes, are they just like extra large pads?

[rpcelectronics]

@Lakes57 They can be if you want your board to be grounded through the mounting holes. Your other option is just standard mounting holes, that are isolated from the circuit completely.  That will be one of the subjects I talk about in the 12th lesson.

[jaffabend]

Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to produce these tutorials. Is there any chance you might extend the series with a couple of videos on board layout design? For example when to use ground planes, how to choose the correct track size, how to avoid rookie design mistakes, etc. Many thanks.

[icewater111]

thanks. i found the series really helpful. awesome for beginners.

if you plan to do another series could you tackle something a little more advanced? 

[migomat]

Good job. Thak You it was very helpful.

[g4ztd]

Hi Jason

Cant thank you enough, a bril tutorial many thanks

Kelvin

[alvagoldbook2]

I can't stress enough just how much help this tutorial has been for me. I would be lost without it. Thank you so much!

[geobruce1995]

Thnx I watch them all there has to come a 3D tut

[nzmedic]

Excellent series, thank you very much for documenting this! I have gone from not being able to design a board to making some great layouts which have helped me in my work considerably.

[oldetymeradio1]

Jason, Great job.

[10xneil]

Just watched your whole series -- when I first downloaded EAGLE, I was thinking WTF is going on?!? Now I have a good grasp of how this works, thank you so much!

[MrEarthwaterwind]

Thanks Jason,

I have been watching your tutorial since last week .Just finished watching it following along on my eagle demo software.

It's been great listening to your lectures. Thanks for your contribution.

Are you gonna release Lesson 12 any time soon? Or is it still in the workshop?

Thanks Again.!

[66tbird1]

Thank you for the lessons. Decades ago I did high density single side TCXO's and their test fixtures, If this would of been around then we could of done a lot more in a week. Now I'm just a hobbyist with a small mill and if I can import into Sketchup I'm good to go.

[007wingzero]

Thanks alot. great tutorial

[jennisgenesys]

thank u jason for the time u spent for such a wonderful tutorial......

I just finished seeing the 11 tutorials ........and I have a fairly decent idea about using the Eagle tool......Thank u again.

[ameriqbalqureshi]

Thanks The lessons are really good. Can you tell me if I just want to make a single sided board at home, how can i print the layers separately, like pads, tracks and silk scren etc.

[feijojr]

Hello Jason, I learnt a lot, thank you for your effort. receive a hug from Brazil.

[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 :)

[vanguntube]

how can i make it at single layer?very good job btw

[vanguntube]

very good at this point.whats next?which layer i need to print for pcb?what about positive and negative routes?please someone anwer

[jbohbot1]

still waiting....

[GeorgeGraves]

Subscribed for lesson 12.

[havi0003]

Thank you for making these videos-helped alot

[wilz347]

Great tut ^_^. Thanks, your tut helped us a lot.God Bless

[Fusionicon]

Thanks waiting for the next tut.

[rvndxen]

Many thanks Jason! It was a awesome and helpfull tutorial!

[meehowk3]

When do you add lesson 12?

[heninsh]

Thank very match, all this eagle video very help me ;)

[TinyWords]

From the resultant board layout that is created, are you able to printout the layout and etch your own PCB?

[dineshvr1]

Hi Jason, first of all, thank you for the excellent series. I have a question hopefully you could include on the lesson 12. Could you please explain how to make any changes in the schematic once you have created the board files? In other words, say I need to make v2 of the board adding some new components in schematic, do I need to start from scratch with the board?

[3dleds]

Thanks for the tutorial :-)

Now I think I will use eagle correctly.

[deepnum09]

thanks so much jason!!! this series of tutorials helped me soooo much.

[jaimeaddin]

thanks!!

you really helped me!!!

wonderful job!

[jmarinchak]

Jason - Thanks for making these videos.

[MrBADrummond]

Jason, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for a very nice tutorial. The tutorial was both interesting and enlightening, because you are a very good speaker as well as teacher. Cadsoft should compensate you :) I am certain their software sales will escalate due to your generousity and professionalism.

[curtiswcole]

how do I download the files at the website?

[apc3161]

I found these tutorials to be incredibly helpful. Thanks so much. You should put up a link where we can make a paypal donation, I would gladly do so.

[russmusJammers]

Thanks, Jason! You are officialy my hero of the week.

[aislas]

Thanks Jason, that was very useful!

[cchakraborty]

Thank you Jason. Just finished watching from L1 thru L11. I am a beginner, and learnt a lot. Extremely helpful. Is L12 also uploaded? I couldn't find it.

[rpcelectronics]

@cchakraborty Lesson 12 has not been uploaded yet. I am still working on it. Mostly adding highlights to the video and other little goodies.

[meehowk3]

What about lesson 12? Btw good job!

[juniorvhockey]

Thanks so Much!!!

[plainsadmin]

Thanks so much Jason. You probably shaved two weeks off of the learning curve.

[nibakuze]

thanks a lot. this was really helpful :)

[szajbaszajbaszajba]

Thanks! It helped me alot

[coolboarder44]

Thanks so much! Great introduction to the software! Been using DipTrace for a while now as it seemed a bit easier and more intuitive to use and get into than Eagle (at least for newbies!), but I think I'm ready for the switch! Thanks a lot! I'm gonna download the trial right now and try it out.

[HydraMind]

Thanks Jason! I had purchased Eagle Cad over a year ago and was lost. Set the thing to the side in disgust till I happened to see your tutorials. The tutorials were great - you may have missed a calling in education!

[AeroPR]

Great! Thanks

[WuDiTieJingGang]

Thanks so much for this tutorial series, the manual from cadsoft was horribly written and pain to get through. Thanks again!

[chubyatyahoo]

thanks this was really helpfully. i was wandering what is the average price for a board say twice the size in your tutorial.

[amynoacid]

I sent my design to a boardhouse, and they told me that it does not have an outline/perimeter. I followed your tutorials, and could not figure out what I did wrong. Do you have any idea?

[rpcelectronics]

Did you send it to Gold Phoenix? If so, they always request a border be added in silkscreen. Use the line tool, select the top silkscreen layer and draw a border line all of the way around your board. Re-generate the gerbers and you should be ok.

[GNKARN11]

Thanks

[happytkee]

thanks JASON . good tut . better than the 1 that provide by cadsoft tut

[rpcelectronics]

Wow, thanks!

[RetroRepair]

I've been using Eagle on and off for about 5 years and I've picked up some very useful tips from you here, fantastic tutorial series!

Here's hoping you decide to make another series on some of the more complicated circuits!

[matze1807]

Thanks a lot.!!!

That really helped me out!

[grimmer2005]

This was good! You make it "funny" and easy to learn. Best tutorial for Eagle so far. Keep up the good work, and im looking forward to any future tutorial that you create! Kind regards Alex (sweden)

[rpcelectronics]

@grimmer2005 Funny? That is a first on comments. Thanks for the kind words!

[chylby]

Thanks a lot , so helpful to understand how eagle is working, appreciate it . I learn a lot.

[rubengiu]

Thank you Jason! great job! best regards from Brazil!

[PSPLikeNew]

How can you add a set of pads for installing a heat-sink for the voltage regulator in your circuit?

Also, EAGLE is referred to as "hobby quality" software. I like EAGLE, but eventually I'd like to learn to use a professional PCB layout editor. Can you make a video where you discuss the specific features that separate a hobby software from a professional software for pcb layout, please.

[davescz]

THANK YOU !

This tutorial helped me a lot to undestand basics of Eagle !

[Russell016]

I want to make my own circuit boards, and I was wondering if you could make a video about it. I know there are a lot out there, but they don't show the part between designing it and printing it. If you could fill in that part, I would be very grateful. Thanks for your tutorial. They are great.

[stokni]

Hey Jason, just watched all lessons, helped me a lot starting with eagle, thanks for the effort!

[rpcelectronics]

@stokni Glad it got you going. Keep at it!

[Roymond911]

what happened to lesson 10

[JMat0]

Thank you!
