Tips to accelerate work: Whenever you move something, you can rotate the thing while dragging it by clicking the right button. Also while manually routing you can hit the middle mouse button(wheel) to instantly switch between the layers. Thanks for the tutorial, I've learned a bit from it!
Jeremy, thanks to your videos I've managed to go from knowing nothing about Arduino and PCB design, to having completed my first Arduino project and moving it into a standalone prototype, all in a space of 3 weeks. I did have the advantage of a lifetime coding in C and C++ to help me, but your videos took a steep learning curve and lowered the barrier to entry significantly. Thanks for your efforts, they are greatly appreciated.
I keep coming back to this excellent tutorial after long breaks from Eagle. I seem to watch it once a year for refresher. Thanks a lot for putting this series together.
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.
Hi Jeremy. I've just started learning how to use Eagle, so this was a wonderful, simple tutorial that was easy to follow and easy to jump back and forth with. You describe things so well that I had not trouble following the lecture. Hope to see many more.
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!
I agree with the author of the comment below. Thanks for the effort you put into making these video tutorials Jeremy and I have to say that even though I have watched plenty(!) tutorials on the net, yours are easily one of the best of them in both quality, layout and also the easiest to grasp. You do have the rare ability to educate people - even the most ignorant ones. And I do hope that this work of yours will reward you in the future. Best wishes from Turkey!
dude seriously! thank you so much i had spend quite a few bucks on useless fiverr jobs etc... but with your 1st video of this series i made my own schematic HAHA! Nice
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!!!
Great video! If you select an object in move-mode you can rotate it by pressing right mouse button, this way you don't have to go betwen move and rotate.
Great tutorial!!! I've been looking for something like this for a while. They are all meat and no fluff. I need to learn quick and fierce and these are just the right level. I hope you make more on Eagle and board design soon. Thanks for sharing!
Another solid video. Between this and the first tutorial I am finally feeling comfortable with Eagle. Definitely wish I had found these earlier! Onward to the third! Thanks again Jeremy!
standing by for the third video. great stuff man. keep it up. learned more practical EE skills in your tutorials than in 4 years of classes. i hope you're getting some kind of adword money for this. I am willing to invest if you have a good idea.. let me know!
Just something I found out to be very handy if you're doing a big PCB board. The MOV command. Just type in MOV COMPONENT, so example MOV r1. It's going to select the component for you, it saves a lot of time if you're having many components on your board.
this was a great video, thank you for posting it. Id really like to a see a video/tutorial about manual routing tips, do's and don'ts, etc. especially because material on this subject is oddly absent from the internet. for instance i was practicing manual routing by designing a 741 op amp at the component level and after i was finished i realized it looked pretty goofy and far from professional. an in depth video covering manual routing and design tips would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot Jeremy, in these time of restrictions due covid laws, it is a salvation to can focus the mind into this clear explenation of Eagle' s project. I will go ahead in my 555 projects.
Thank-you so much for this tutorial sereies! I am eargerly awaiting your video on actually walking through the process of sending you design out to a board shop and see the results.
Your tutorials have been my arduino 'Bible' per se. I have learned so much about the platform and the CAD software in very little time. I have a couple neat projects I am trying to finish as one-off christmas presents. One is about the size of the blinky board, while the other may be 6x6 inches. What can I expect to pay to have 2 layer boards produced, and who would you suggest as a manufacturer in the united states. I can't wait for production from overseas. Hope to see more tutorials.
16:25, I set those the same, I now get an error "Error Message "Error in Parameters, check RoutingGrid" - autoroute was working before I altered the values, but I can't remember what they were
Hey Jeremy, Waiting for a third video here too! Will you be making a video on how to create a casing in Eagle? Video idea: how about a video on microchips. I have very little experiance with them, and maybe you could present some and how they work for the benefit of the public :) Thanks!
Hi Jeremy - First off, thank you for producing such excellent Eagle PCB tutorials. My question for you is why would one not specify the board size prior to moving any components on to it? Not doing so seems to set up the potential to place all the components, route them and then find that the entire circuit does not fit within some board size limit. - Thank you! - Jim
Nice Eagle Tutorial! Would it be possible to do a video on using a laser printer to produce the etch mask and possibly a decal for the top silk screen? Of course I'm talking about using mostly through hole components. Your videos are very informative and concise. Thanks
I have been following your videos concerning eagle cad and have been able to create a schematic and board very easely. However, I have not been able to get my design on order...I'm lost and looking forward for the next.
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.
Probably shouldn't run the battery + signal under the holder where the negative terminal of the battery will be connecting to the pad on the board. This relies on the solder mask to insulate the battery case from the signal. Probably the part should have a "keepout" or "restrict" polygon defined to keep from routing traces under there.
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??
Thanks for the tutorials. When you use the Gnd plane pour, the CR1220 battery can be shorted out....how do you keep the ground plane out from going under coin battery holder? Build another polygon and change the name? Thanks again.
11 ปีที่แล้ว
Hi Jeremy. when the third part is released? any tips for the european public where to order and make the boards? love your tutorials. best.
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?
in Minute 19.45 you added more vias and the air wire just dissapear. But, in my case i add more vias and clicked the nest button then the air wire still not dissapear? why? i am using eagle 8.70
This is a great tutorial, but I found some trouble when you used the polygon to make a ground layer. After clicking ratsnest, I saw no change, though in your video, clicking ratsnest caused the polygon to make a red layer on the PCB. Could you help explain why this happens and how to fix it for the future?
i am very confused how to get the layout portion.. aka the beginning fully layed out. i am being told i need connect all slave nodes, clock, dataline together. in I2C. i need to pull up suitable resistor values.. can you help with understanding this? please and super thanks
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?
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?
Thanks for the Eagle tutorials, Jeremy. They helped me a lot in setting up my schematic and board in one night. However, I suspect I've done it wrong. My components are the old through-hole kind, not surface mount. So I think that all the stuff (copper) on my top layer really belongs on the bottom layer. Correct? How do I move the contents of my top layer to the bottom, or must I recreate the board? If I have to recreate the whole board, how do I make it so the copper comes out on the bottom? THANKS. -Marty
Great ! I am waiting the 3rd part impatiently. Can you make a video to explain how to create a SMD component from a datasheet? To enlarge its own library. Can you also explain how to make cuts in the PCB? For example a PCB in the form of "U". Not necessarily square or rectangular. Thank you very much! (Jérémy From Belgium :D ;) )
In the third part (if it ever gets done, I know you are very busy ;) ), please do a tutorial for generating gerber files for iTeadStudio OpenPCB. I`ve looked around and no-one else has done a youtube video for this! Thanks!
your tutorial is awesome, I am working in small project where I am using the SN754410 IC but I could not find it in the libraries from eagle. Do you have any suggestion where I could find this component so I can finish my project
What do I do if I want to have a program running on a pcb such as where a button when pushed turns on an led. For example if I wanted to have arduino code running on a pcb
I have designed a panel with switches and knobs and LEDs. I want to design a circuit board behind the panel which i will cut with my CNC. What i am trying to find is the panel i have imported as a dxf - there are circles on the which i need to be holes i.e. where switches will come through in some instances and also a gap for an LCD screen etc. How do i make a polygon a hole? Drawing a hole is simple enough but taking a dxf imported shape and making it a hole is a problem. i hope that makes sense.
hey Jeremey i got a weird error on my schematic sketch and it wont go away the error is supply pin GND overwritten with more than 1 signal(GND,,N$S) do you know what cause this problem? its a GND that goes to a octocoupler with just 1 wire
Go to options menu , then click on user interface , and you'll find background option there , change it to black or any other colour of your choice . Mine is Eagle 9.1.0 , may vary a little in yours if version is different .
After 11 years, your tutorial is still relevant and saved me a lot of time. Really detailed explanation yet very easy to understand.
Tips to accelerate work:
Whenever you move something, you can rotate the thing while dragging it by clicking the right button.
Also while manually routing you can hit the middle mouse button(wheel) to instantly switch between the layers.
Thanks for the tutorial, I've learned a bit from it!
Jeremy, thanks to your videos I've managed to go from knowing nothing about Arduino and PCB design, to having completed my first Arduino project and moving it into a standalone prototype, all in a space of 3 weeks. I did have the advantage of a lifetime coding in C and C++ to help me, but your videos took a steep learning curve and lowered the barrier to entry significantly.
Thanks for your efforts, they are greatly appreciated.
I keep coming back to this excellent tutorial after long breaks from Eagle. I seem to watch it once a year for refresher. Thanks a lot for putting this series together.
This is one excellent tutorial... Don't remember seeing anything that informative in a long time.
Agree!
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.

Hey, great series of videos...One small thing. When you hold a component you can rotate him with right click.Thank you so much for the videos!
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.
One of the best Eagle tutorials I have seen. Very thorough and easy to follow.
Great video!
If you select an object in move-mode you can rotate it by pressing right mouse button, this way you don't have to go betwen move and rotate.
Jeremy. Thank you for your time teaching us how to use Eagle. You saved my senior design project!:)
Oh my god, thank you so much! I'm working with Eagle, with no prior experience, and this helped me so much!
Great tutorial!!! I've been looking for something like this for a while. They are all meat and no fluff. I need to learn quick and fierce and these are just the right level. I hope you make more on Eagle and board design soon. Thanks for sharing!
Another solid video. Between this and the first tutorial I am finally feeling comfortable with Eagle. Definitely wish I had found these earlier! Onward to the third! Thanks again Jeremy!

Thank you so much for such valuable tutorials and information, it is helping me a lot in my graduation project
Congratulations! All the essential needed to project boards. Compact, clear and clever!
This tutorial is just amazing... Hope more people would do what you do! Thank you!
Excellent tutorial Jeremy. Thank you for your work in putting it together.
I'm going to get to the third video soon! Sorry for the delay!
this was a great video, thank you for posting it. Id really like to a see a video/tutorial about manual routing tips, do's and don'ts, etc. especially because material on this subject is oddly absent from the internet.
for instance i was practicing manual routing by designing a 741 op amp at the component level and after i was finished i realized it looked pretty goofy and far from professional. an in depth video covering manual routing and design tips would be highly appreciated.
I already have! Watch the intro to the first tutorial. I will be explaining how to get it manufactured in the 3rd video.
Would love to see that third video, these tutorials are great, but they would be better if it was complete!
Jeremy all I can say is that you rock top to the max my friend, great tutorial. Thank you.
SHORTCUT: you can right click whilst using the move tool to rotate the object in 90 degree steps. Its quicker than using the rotate tool
Thanks a lot Jeremy, in these time of restrictions due covid laws, it is a salvation to can focus the mind into this clear explenation of Eagle' s project. I will go ahead in my 555 projects.
its been a long time! love to see video 3. more specifically. how to print the board out so you can etch it yourself.
This is really amazing tutorial. thank you. I have never used Egale but I understood everything.
Very useful! Good job with that like finally someone who understands this program!
Please have the third video out soon! I really need it.
Thank-you so much for this tutorial sereies! I am eargerly awaiting your video on actually walking through the process of sending you design out to a board shop and see the results.
I'm really looking forward to the next video too! I'm ready to make my first board!
Just a note. You can also rotate the parts by right clicking while you have it on your cursor when moving the part around.
Nice tutorials!
I hope you will get the third part ready soon.
Your tutorials have been my arduino 'Bible' per se. I have learned so much about the platform and the CAD software in very little time. I have a couple neat projects I am trying to finish as one-off christmas presents. One is about the size of the blinky board, while the other may be 6x6 inches. What can I expect to pay to have 2 layer boards produced, and who would you suggest as a manufacturer in the united states. I can't wait for production from overseas.
Hope to see more tutorials.
Damn I got experience with the flow game, it helped me make that blinker with only one copper pour
These tutorials are *fantastic*
16:25, I set those the same, I now get an error "Error Message "Error in Parameters, check RoutingGrid" - autoroute was working before I altered the values, but I can't remember what they were
you are so good at explaining things... Thank you and keep uploading
Looking forward to the third video. Thank you for doing these
Great tutorial Jeremy! Keep up the good work
best tutorials in youtube
u got a fan
I found this very informative, hope to see the next one soon!

Awesome tutorials, really valuable, hope to see the third tutorial soon as I want to make my first board :)!
Awesome, You must be a good teacher.
Really great videos! Please make the third part, it would help me a lot.

Thank you Jeremy, excellent tutorials.
Video 1 and 2: Nice training, i have learn 1 or 2 thing that a did'n know. Tanks, good work :)

Great tutorial, you have been a great help for me!
wonder how i would go about printing black and white for prototyping the board at home
+Eddie Amaya figured it out.. now i wonder how to edit the clearance from the ground plane
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!
i am very confused how to get the layout portion.. aka the beginning fully layed out. i am being told i need connect all slave nodes, clock, dataline together. in I2C. i need to pull up suitable resistor values.. can you help with understanding this? please and super thanks
Hi Jeremy, thanks for the videos. Meanwhile EagleCad 9 is out, some functions are a bit different, but it still helps a lot.
What is the use of the via and how to know where to put it? I got confused when you started adding vias and manually routing it.
Cant wait for the next video man!
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?

I can't find the 3rd video. Are the video online allready?

I'm confused why we had to make a 2nd ground plane after the autorouting step? Can someone explain?
Thank you for these great tutorials!
Great !
I am waiting the 3rd part impatiently.
Can you make a video to explain how to create a SMD component from a datasheet? To enlarge its own library.
Can you also explain how to make cuts in the PCB?
For example a PCB in the form of "U". Not necessarily square or rectangular.
Thank you very much!
(Jérémy From Belgium :D ;) )
In the third part (if it ever gets done, I know you are very busy ;) ), please do a tutorial for generating gerber files for iTeadStudio OpenPCB.
I`ve looked around and no-one else has done a youtube video for this!
Thanks!
waiting for the 3rd video
thx for ur effort
Hello buddy!! Can you please tell the eagle package that you used for the LCD display that is on your website??
Great way of teaching.
your tutorial is awesome, I am working in small project where I am using the SN754410 IC but I could not find it in the libraries from eagle.
Do you have any suggestion where I could find this component so I can finish my project
Hi Jeremy; This videos was awesome. Thanks.
Did you post videos on specific aspect of board design, high signals and etc?
Hey, so I would like to ask, which layer should be ON if I only want the silkscreen layer ?
Thank you
What do I do if I want to have a program running on a pcb such as where a button when pushed turns on an led. For example if I wanted to have arduino code running on a pcb
I have designed a panel with switches and knobs and LEDs. I want to design a circuit board behind the panel which i will cut with my CNC. What i am trying to find is the panel i have imported as a dxf - there are circles on the which i need to be holes i.e. where switches will come through in some instances and also a gap for an LCD screen etc. How do i make a polygon a hole? Drawing a hole is simple enough but taking a dxf imported shape and making it a hole is a problem.
i hope that makes sense.
hey Jeremey i got a weird error on my schematic sketch and it wont go away the error is supply pin GND overwritten with more than 1 signal(GND,,N$S) do you know what cause this problem? its a GND that goes to a octocoupler with just 1 wire
Using manual board layout,how do you snap a pad to grid (2.54mm grid selected)?
4:13 your background is black mine is white, how to turn it black?
Go to options menu , then click on user interface , and you'll find background option there , change it to black or any other colour of your choice .
Mine is Eagle 9.1.0 , may vary a little in yours if version is different .
hi jeremy, can you make a video that works on presynthesized board, i can't find an option on how to invert my pcb layout. TIA
