Introduction PCB design in EAGLE is a two-step process. First you design your schematic, then you lay out a PCB based on that schematic.
The New Autodesk EAGLE is the fusion of power, accessibility and affordability, delivering integrated ECAD/MCAD for designing smart products for every engineer. The powerful, yet easy to use, PCB Design Software is a comprehensive schematic, PCB and collaboration tool with a brand new routing engine, ultra-precise selection, and super easy circuitry reuse.
EAGLE’s board and schematic editors work hand-in-hand. A well-designed schematic is critical to the overall PCB design process. It will help you catch errors before the board is fabricated, and it’ll help you debug a board when something doesn’t work. This tutorial is the first of a two-part Using EAGLE series, and it’s devoted entirely to the schematic-designing side of EAGLE.
