This is my step-by-step guide to schematic drawing in Eagle. Let us say we find the circuit above interesting and want to build a real electronic circuit out of it to test in the real world. The first step is
PCB Manufacturing Preparation
Before you send your board layout to PCB manufacturing, you should always check your board for errors.
There is a high chance of errors when you design a new board. And very often you don’t discover it before you have manufactured the circuit board and are trying to troubleshoot it.
If you’re able to remove all errors before you make the board, you’ll save a lot of time!
Many errors can be removed by making sure your schematic is correct.
When you’re sure your schematic is correct, there are a few other checks you should do to minimize the chances of any problems.
Free Electronic Circuits And Schematics Online
I have compiled this list of online resources that offer free electronic circuits. The circuits include free schematics and many of them also include explanations on how the circuit works and pcb layout.
5 of the Best Electronic Blogs for Hobbyists, Hackers and Makers
Here is a list of 5 of the best electronic blogs that I have found on the web.
Instead of reading about violence, crime, and corruption in the “normal” news every morning, I use an RSS feed reader and read about cool electronic projects from blogs around the world.
How To Desolder a Solder Joint
To know how to desolder a solder joint is maybe just as important as knowing how to solder.
Sometimes you need to make a correction to your electronic circuit. Maybe you soldered a diode in the wrong direction or maybe two of your pads have accidentally been connected by some extra solder.
In these cases you need to know desoldering.
