Yes!!!

I was going to post these when I got Eagle installed on my MacBook. I wanted to try them first, but the looked great!!



This should defintily go right to the meta....

This most definitly kicks ass.

modifying design rules - good stuff. I don't use auto-router, so I was unaware of these options.

 

[Ptownkid]

Really? I always use the auto-router to lay down a "first draft" and modify it from there.

 

[Handcrafted Tone]

I bought the stripped down standard version (no auto-router) so I can work on bigger boards. I guess I could use a different computer with the demo license, but so far I've just manually drawn traces, it's kinda like a puzzle. I put a lot of thought into component placement.

 

[Ptownkid]

Which one is the stripped down version that allows larger boards?

I thought there was only three version and the sole difference is board size?

 

[enthalpystudios]

here's a question.... obviously i could create the part, but i can't seem to find a standard pcb mount toggle/pushbutton, like is used on fabios 312 boards, or jlm switch boards, or whatever.. they're all over the place. i figured i could find one online somewhere, but its a no go so far.

any body have anything along those lines?

 

[Ptownkid]

I would strongly suggest you use something that simple as a good part to use to learn how to do it.

In fact, I think i will

EAGLE Standard (Limitations: 4 signal layers, 160x100mm routing area)
1-User
Layout-Editor (basic program) US$ 199.-
Schematic-Editor module + US$ 199.-
Autorouter module + US$ 199.-

I just didn't buy the auto router module.

here's a good pushbutton, but it's not panel mount

[Ptownkid]

Oh wow, I never noticed that before, so the "full" standard version is 600usd and the full "full" version is 1200usd

Daaaaaaaaaamn

So what is the Schematic-Editor module? You can't draw schematics without it?

 

[Handcrafted Tone]

It's just the schematic page. Without it eagle would be pretty boring (you could use the packages, but not the devices or symbols) and you would have to route everything without the help of a schematic. Pretty much impossible.

 

[thestudio]

I would like more instruction on how to go from pcb to CAM processing jobs :wink:

 

[Handcrafted Tone]

[quote author="handcrafted tone"]use the CAM presets. In the board view, click on Cam Processor button. When the window opens, click File->Open->Job. These are presets that are saved in your eagle program CAM folder.

Choose excelleron and generate the drill data.

do file->open->job again and choose gerb274X. This generates the gerber.

Some manufactures will automatically mirror the bottom layers, if this is the case un-check the "mirror" button on bottom layers when generating the gerber.[/quote]

At least on Windows XP eagle is perfectly happy with multiple installations using different licence keys. The only catch is that they will both share directories for lbr/projects etc, which is a good thing IMO.

 

[Handcrafted Tone]

interesting, I'll try that

 

[tony666]

There's a non profit Eagle version that has the same specs as the standard version for 140$ (that's with the autorouter and cam processor included).

 

[Ptownkid]

the link i sent you has a tutorial for both schematic and board layout, it'll tell you.
