Eagle Workshop

[Nathan Lasseter]

Hey guys.

I've put together a bit of a thing on how to use Eagle. Who wants to learn? I'm happy to run a workshop whenever, even next week if people are up for it.

All you will need is a laptop and a copy of Eagle (http://www.cadsoftusa.com/) - the free version will suffice.

I'll cover all the basics, and you can ask me any questions etc.

Next week then?

[Daniel Bailey]

Erm, should we... advertise this? or is it just between 'us'?

BTW, I know eagle too so I can answer questions, etc.

Spread the word, you have a week to do so. Tell chirper/goggle/friendface/$socialnetworknooneuses.

I figured you'd be able to fill in any gaps. I've got most of the major features covered I think. Anything I don't mention, shout.

Ah.Yea dude...I could definitely use some Eagle skills!

Laptop will be Eagled up and ready.  Also has Fritzing and Kicad on there.  Good work, Nathan!

If the designs are kept simple enough then I might be able to etch them for everyone who wants me to do so. I can do double sided boards but the vias won't be connected unless you stick something through them and solder both sides.

Does anyone happen to have a pico projector and VGA cable they could bring?
