Back to basics. Here is a tutorial on autodesk.com blog on how to read schematics: The schematic forms the building block of every electrical circuit, and even if you aren’t designing one yourself, knowing how to read one is invaluable. And with some schematic reading knowledge in hand, you’ll be able to design, build and […]
Export Eagle Libraries With SnapEDA
https://www.electronics-lab.com/export-eagle-libraries-snapeda/
Although the new Eagle subscription model by Autodesk will bring much-needed features to the software, many users after the announcement had decided to move their work to other alternatives, such as KiCad, Altium, Cadence, etc. One of the challenges was to convert the libraries made by Eagle to be compatible with other software programs. SnapEDA solved that […]

Panelizing made easy in Eagle
https://www.electronics-lab.com/panelizing-made-easy-eagle/
Sjaak shared a tip for panelizing PCB boards in Eagle: Panelizing is done by machining a slot between two or more boards, but keep them attached by a small amount of PCB material (mousebites). I used to do it by hand: generated all the schematics into multiple sheets and then route the board and finally […]

Omniblox is a very good 3D Eagle .brd 3D viewer created by Benjamin D. Richards and David ten Have, but some script knowledge is needed to use it. Looking to render printed circuit boards (PCBs)? Look no further. This script loads and renders them visually using a .brd file created by CadSoft EAGLE (version 6.0 […]
Eagle – Create Nixie tube footprint
https://www.electronics-lab.com/eagle-create-nixie-tube-footprint/
lucadentella.it shows us how to create a Nixie tube footprint by placing the pads in a circular way. I’m working with Eagle to prepare a PCB for a Nixie clock. I wasn’t able to find a library for the Nixie I chose so I had to create it from scratch. Eagle – Create Nixie tube […]
