As many of you may be aware Laen has been putting together a group
ordering process for circuit board fabrications somewhat like
SparkFun's BatchPCB service except with less time lag and the
fabrication is done in the USA.
To introduce you to the tools needed to create circuit boards for this
service (and most other circuit board services) we are presenting a
workshop teaching you how to design a circuit board using Eagle PCB
with an emphasis on getting designs that can be fabricated.
Workshop Time and Location
The workshop will be offered on two dates (Pick one):
* November 29th at PNCA (NW 12th and Johnson, room 205) (Google
Calendar Link)
* December 5th through OpenTechSpace at Techshop (10100 SW Allen
Blvd., Beaverton, OR 97005) (Google Calendar Link)
Follow-up Session:
A follow-up session will be offered on December 6th, 1pm-5pm at PNCA ,
to go over your designs, help with any problems, and getting them
ready for submission for fabrication.
Fabrication included
Signing up for the class gets you three copies of your (up to 2 square
inch) design in the December order. Designs submitted by the 10th of
December will be included in this months PCB run and can be picked up
at the meeting on the 21st (or mailed).
Topics covered.
* Creating schematics
* Organizing your files and libraries.
* Laying out your parts effectively.
* Routing your signals
* Creating / finding parts that you need.
* Documenting your board in the silkscreen
* Using DRUs to design for a specific board fabricator
* Using the ERC to check your designs for problems
What you will need
You should have some basic understanding of circuits but it is not
critical You will need to bring a laptop which is capable of running
eagle (linux,windows or mac -- see http://www.cadsoft.de/info.htm).
The class is $35 and is limited to 30 so it is best to reserve a space
in the class. Please rsvp at http://tempusdictum.com/tdproducts.html
