Make Your Own PCBs with EAGLE: From Schematic Designs to Finished Boards

Design custom printed circuit boards with EAGLE
Learn how to make double-sided professional-quality PCBs from the ground up using EAGLE–the powerful, flexible design software. In this step-by-step guide, electronics guru Simon Monk leads you through the process of designing a schematic, transforming it into a PCB layout, and submitting standard Gerber files to a manufacturing service to create your finished board. Filled with detailed illustrations, photos, and screenshots, Make Your Own PCBs with EAGLE features downloadable example projects so you can get started right away.
