Pill Timers -- Dec 2011 -- Creating Eagle Files, Help Needed
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:33 pm
I am quite interested in the pill timer circuit that appears in the December 2011 issue, and the circuit looks simple enough for me to use it to help me learn how to make Eagle files and have my own boards made. I am just learning Eagle. This will be my first PCB design project.
I'm working on the Eagle schematic and using Figure 1 in Mr. Lyman's article to guide me. Perhaps someone can kindly answer my questions.
1. In Eagle, how do I show a through-hole on the PCB which is named "LOAD"?
2. Is the "GND" symbol in Eagle the same as the ground symbols shown in the article's Figure 1?
3. In the article's Figure 1, pin 5 of the PIC10F200 is shown connected to +5v. How do I show this in Eagle?
4. How do I represent JP1 in Eagle? I may be misreading Figure 1, but these are surface mount pads, is that correct? The author mentions wanting the lower pad to become a through-hole that could be connected to 10F200 pin 6 (GP3) as an input.
5. In the "lite" edition of Eagle version 6, how do I define the size of the actual circuit board?
Thanks
Bob
