In this second tutorial on CadSoft Eagle, I will present you how to flip your schematic into a board layout that you can get made! Especially, I will go over section layout, automatic and guide routing, layer and grid controls, ULPs, ground pours, web classes, and much extra!

Awesome tutorial! You really laid it out clearly for enthusiasts and people with more experience. If anyone will be at DesignCon 2018 in Santa Clara, CA, we would love to meet and talk further with you about your tech projects!
APCT will be in booth 501 in the Expo Hall.

Thanks Jeremy!
Do you know how to make a PCB with multiple boards?
If one of these boards is completely flexible, what is it made of?
Thanks!
Excellent tutorial Jeremy. Thank you for your work in putting it together.
How to set components on the bottom layer without flipping?
Equalize intro sound level and movie audio level.
Cool, thanks for the tutorial!
Learnt so much! Thanks and Subbed.
Onto Vid 3 🙂
Great video. taught me a lot about Eagle. on a steep earning curve. Can you let me know how to create a circular pcb please? I've learned how to alter shape and size and its very convoluted. I need a 2.5 inch diameter circular board.
Great tutorial ! Thanks bro
Im sure my components are not the ones i want right now, but i had never heard of Eagle until today, and i got my first schematic and PCB layout mostly done. This is killer!
Than you Eagle
You did a great job on the three videos to create schematics, design, and gerber files. Thanks a lot, this was incredibly helpful!

Very good tuts! Keep the good work on!
I'm confused why we had to make a 2nd ground plane after the autorouting step? Can someone explain?
Thank you for this very informative and clear tutorial!
Great way of teaching.
Great tutorial. Thank you!
I'm making a simple board, and I don't want to make a schematic for it due to its simplicity. I can't seem to figure out how to connect pads together. How is this done so that the routes from pad to pad are not exposed, only the pads exposed?
Thank You! that was very helpful!
Hello, how do I keep the potentiometers off the PCB? I'll connect them with wires.
Thanks Jeremy
This is actually pretty good tutorial, but really, making LED flasher on this big board with 6 vias.. is not really necessary and mandatory for this type of tutorial.. also using autorouter. Well, but someone may find it useful, but for me, it is not a really helpful and good tutorial, as i work in eagle for a quite a while now.
Hello buddy!! Can you please tell the eagle package that you used for the LCD display that is on your website??
excellent tutorial , thanks so much
Please explain the function of ratsnet button
4:13 your background is black mine is white, how to turn it black?
Thank you …..
thanks a lot given information
Thanks a lot
You rock! Awesome tutorial. Thank you very much!
how to make a circular board?
Thank you for these great tutorials!
great tutorial…plz drop the audio level on the intro music at least in future videos. When I have you confrotable vol from 3ft away (couch to coffee table) it gets distractingly to annoyingly loud when the intro music comes on. the high pitch plus volume makes me almost close the browser window due to headake but. Ask youself …do you really want your intro music coming through like a screaming commercial that interrupts dinner if try to watch the news?
I cant seem to find any information on creating a four layer board with a ground plane and power plane in the middle and signal layers on the outside, are there any readings you suggest or other tutorials?
When you did the INITIAL autoroute, it was able to make some vias for some of the nets, but it didn't do that one via for the ground, and you had to manually add some VIAs to the ground pour.. Why? I'd have thought it would make at least the minimum 2 ground VIAs automatically, knowing it had to connect the 2 parts of the GND net??
i deleted the .sch file how can i recover it?
Do i have to worry about signal integrity on a 8 MHz board?
Really Excellent
so wait what are the vias for???
I wish we had a rec where I work. I would hire this guy in a second. Damn is he talented at his stage of his career.
Good video for beginners Jeremy.
I am watching your videos to increase the slope of the learning curve as I just bought EagleCad. A little disclaimer: I am a Member of the Technical Staff at a major corporation and have 30,000+ hours experience with PCBs and related SI, PI, , PDN, and the aspect that is the most important, but 1 in 200 EE's actually are competent in: noise reduction/mitigation.
For beginners, follow Jeremy's tricks and tips here. He gives a great tutorial for the newbie. However, as you get more experience start studying up on a little theory on PCB physics. An excellent book to start with is PCB Design for Real-World EMI Control, by Bruce R. Achambeault. Ohh for those that don't think that EMI control is relevant for hobbyist work? Wait until you try to solder a completed Bluetooth module on your hobby board and you scratch your head wondering why its max range is 1.5 feet.
FYI Jeremy. I have instructed every EE and PCB designer in my sector to cease and desist from ever using the autorouter. It is crap and will never produce results as good as a trained human brain can. But for beginners it will probably do a better job than they would, so I understand the use in this video.
One more thing, and I don't mean to be critical, but the industry standard for those yellow lines is "guides", not "airwires". Everytime you called them "airwires" I got a facial tick. LOL
But seriously, nice video for people that have never touched a PCB in their lives. Good video for even well seasoned people like me that use more complex tools such as Mentor Graphics and Cadence Design Suite. Not here to learn routing techniques. Hell, I teach them as part of my job description. I am here to get the quick notes on "Getting Started". I really don't want to spend 2-3 days learning all the nuances of EagleCad, and you have taught this seasoned professional all he needed to know to get up quick on the learning curve in a little over an hour. For that I am grateful.
I tip my hat to you. You will go far and high young man. Indeed.
I giff dis, 10 out of 10!
Jeremy, I have used other software to work with pcb, and now I am going to use Eagle… You did a great job with these tutorials. It is just one of the best procedures I found in the internet, not just about the content, but about the way you did it. Congrats, and keep going!!!
more reasonable size??? this is how you do when you make a pcb? if I want 5inch x 5 inch how I do? I cant find anywhere on the internet where we can setup de board dimensions and change from inch to mm
Awesome video for beginner like me ……
PERFECT!!!!
Why is ch12-1220lf (battery holder) not included in the board diagram ?as opposed to the battery cr1220. Don't we want to see the holder on the board when it comes back from the pcbmaker?
