<h4>Electronics guru Simon Monk eases the learning curve for EAGLE—the powerful, free program for designing your own printed circuit boards (PCBs).</h4> <p>Featuring detailed illustrations and step-by-step instructions, <i>Make Your Own PCBs with EAGLE: From Schematic Designs to Finished Boards</i> leads you through the process of designing a schematic and transforming it into a PCB layout. You’ll then move on to fabrication via the generation of standard “Gerber” files for submission to a PCB manufacturing service. This practical guide offers an accessible, logical way to learn EAGLE and start producing PCBs as quickly as possible.<ul><li>Written for hobbyists <li>Presented in an easy-to-follow tutorial style<li>Offers a modern approach, including surface mount design<li>Explains how to create schematics from scratch and how to select components from the libraries<li>Shows how to validate a PCB and produce error-free, industry-standard files<li>Heavily illustrated with screen captures and step-by-step instructions<li>Real-world electronics projects are used as examples</ul></p>
