SparkFun Electronics Eagle Libraries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sparkfun-electronics-eagle-libraries/
Sparkfun has their own Eagle libraries available on github.com. This is a great resource for new board designs. They also have a guide on how to install the libraries and how to create custom footprints. This is the complete SparkFun Electronics default foot prints for Eagle 6.0+. We switched to Eagle back in 2006 and […]
Panelizing and Gerber Generation in Eagle
https://www.electronics-lab.com/panelizing-gerber-generation-eagle/
Shantam Raj @ hackster.io discuss about how to panelize PCBs and generate Gerbers on Eagle CAD. In this article he shares his experience and common mistake he made in the process. I have been working with Eagle for quite some time but never really got a PCB manufactured. almost all the time i used the […]
SparkFun’s EAGLE resources
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sparkfuns-eagle-resources/
Sparkfun has compiled a list of resources about everything you need to design for manufacture an electronic product. Let’s be frank: We’ve made a lot of mistakes over the years. In the ongoing pursuit of better-designed PCBs, we’ve dealt with tons of screw-ups, from boards with ill-arranged traces to boards with…no traces at all, actually, […]

DIY FPGA Programming
https://www.electronics-lab.com/47653-2/
TC-Engineering has documented their efforts to program a Spartan 6 FPGA using a DIY PCB. The hardware part and software are discussed on the link below. I’ve been thinking about building stuff with FPGA’s for a while, and usually get turned away because FPGA’s are considerably harder to implement than microcontrollers since they have no on-chip […]
