Anyone experienced with Eagle? I need help making a XM-L library file...

1. I don't care. :P

2. Again, happy to hear that they exist at all.

3. Hmm... They are in my eagle design, but I guess they didn't get exported. I will try to figure it out.

1) it’s trivial to move the text

2) easy to move the whole or section of the layout (via Move Group command)

3) yep, it looks like the drill file didn’t get processed

Ok, so would this contain the drill holes? I think I must have forgot a section.

@Texaspyro, how exactly do you do it? The only thing I could figure out was how to move the whole contact pad.

Yep, there you go. The .TXT file is the Excellon NC Drill

Ok, I made a few more changes.

I think this may be ready to be ordered. :D

Ship it.

Sweet, BTW can traces intersect? I'm asking because I was thinking about making a monster 7135 board, but I'm not sure how I could do it without the traces intersecting.

I’m not sure what you mean by intersect, to be honest. That board you just posted would fail miserably. You’ve got pin 2 and pin 3 tied together (at a minimum, I stopped looking after seeing that). That’s why you have two layers and vias. When you need one net to cross over another net, you drop a via and continue the trace on the opposite layer - thus running “Under” or “Over” the other net.

Place all chips in a grid, then use vertical traces to connect all chips in each column.

Add 3 horizontal traces to connect all the vertical traces.

And remember a fan to get rid of the heat

It is a long time ago I last did a layout in Eagle.

As in can two vias go across eachother? I'm thinking not...

Ok, I'll arrange them that way. Thanks.

You use the GROUP command/icon to define a group (either a rectangle or a polygon). Then select MOVE GROUP to move everything within the group.

To do a rectangle group you click on one corner and drag the mouse while the button is down.

Texas, am I correct in thinking that the wires going from one place to another cannot cross each other?

Edit: they are called traces correct?

Ok, another question. How exactly do I connect a pad to a via? So far I have gotten this far.

I just need to connect all of the right pins together, since I can't have the wires (I think you call them etches) cross this means I have to route them through a via to get them on the other side of the PCB. But I can't figure out how to get the wires to connect electrically to the vias.

The placement looks better.
You need to widen the traces to the Out pin and the Gnd pin/tab. This will be carrying about 6A and those traces are going to be a bottleneck. Go as wide as you can.
Only traces that carry the same node can cross on the same side of the PCB. There is only one layer of copper on each side.
For example, you cannot cross a Gnd trace with a Vcc trace on the same side of the PCB. I’m not sure if that is the question you are asking.
When you do add vias add plenty each time to transfer a trace to the other side (2-3 per Amp is a minimum).

Ok, thanks Relic. :)

Place the vias where you want them (I would do them along the E10/E14/E18 row and manually rout an etch/trace from the third row pins to the nearest via on the red layer. Connect the row of vias on the blue layer.

You can have Eagle automatically drop in vias and switch to the next layer using the center mouse button. Run the trace to where you want to switch layers, left click to end the trace, middle click will then drop in a via and switch layers.

BTW, use fatter traces. .024” works well with SO8, etc surface mount pads. And I would replace all those zig-zags with a single trace. You can tell Eagle to do corners at other than 90 degrees.

Oh, and you probably want a nice place (pad or hole) to connect your wires to the outside world.

Hmmm... Whenever I try to route manually (and have it go on the bottom) it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Did you drop a via first? Until you drop a via, there is nothing on that board to connect to on the bottom side.

Yeah, there is a via and everything, I already "defined the electrical connection" I just need to put the trace there.
