Using EAGLE: Schematic

Resources and Going Further

This tutorial is the first of a pair. The next tutorial, Using EAGLE: Board Layout, will use the schematic we designed here to lay out a "Bare Bones Arduino" PCB. If you're headed over to that tutorial next, you can get a head start by clicking the Generate/Switch to Board icon -- -- to create a board based on this schematic.

If you'd rather read about other EAGLE-related concepts, here are some tutorials you may want to check out:

• How to Create SMD PCBs -- This is a more advanced and fast-paced EAGLE tutorial. In this one, we focus on laying out a more complex, surface-mount (SMD) design.
• How to Create SMD Footprints -- If you want to create unique parts in a library, check out this tutorial.
• Making Custom Footprints in EAGLE -- Another footprint-making tutorial. This one details a unique process for making a custom 1:1 footprint.
