zeke 693 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Some of you guys may already be aware of Dave Jones from Australia. He's the guy who does the Elelctronics Enigneering Video Blog Well, a while ago, he put together a tutorial on PCB Design and Layout. Here's a direct link to his tutorial pdf. If you want to make some PCB's and you're a newbie then do yourself a favor and check it out. I'm reading it right now. PentiumPC, RobG, bluehash and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I follow his blog. Good to learn stuff, sometimes I think his podcasts are better than a classroom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cdch10 2 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Oh my I have just printed out his tutorial in order to read it on my (long 2 hour) way back home from work I just took a course of PCB design and manufacturing that cost me like $200.00 USD it was worth it, we used dry-film photoresist and the outcome was far better than any other PCB I made in the past . Have any of you used dry-film photoresist? Or photo-imaginable ink? Regards, Christian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SirZusa 34 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I had a look on the tutorial and wonder how to make the "chamfers" and "teardrops" described there in eagle - any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I had a look on the tutorial and wonder how to make the "chamfers" and "teardrops" described there in eagle - any ideas? Custom parts? It'd be a pain to drop one on each pad, but that's what I'd probably do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I saw a script ones that did teardrops, but I figured it's not worth the trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PentiumPC 119 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The guy from the EEVblog have the makings of a comedian. lol.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 You should be able to do a global search and replace with a teardrop pad shape. At least that's how you do it in Altium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Here is the script to make teardrop shaped pads ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/userfiles/ulp/teardrops2.ulp @zeke, there are no teardrop shaped pads in Eagle, the script above adds tracks to make it look like teardrop And that begs the question, why can't you do custom pad shapes in Eagle?
