Purpose:
The purpose of this project was to introduce us to making our own boards and to start us using Eagle. Eagle is a professional breadboard making program. It allows you to make a schematic and breadboard demo of your circuit as well as allow you to print your board view out.
Procedure:
We first made a simple circuit with one resistor and an LED to get ourselves accustomed to board making. Then we watched Jason's tutorials on Eagle and learned how to use it as a class. We made his demo project and used his tips and tricks to design our own board. We made our schematic in Eagle, changed it to board view and then we printed it straight from board view. We then took a regular household iron and ironed on the printed version of our breadboard onto a piece of single sided copper board. After the design was on we made sure that everything was connected. If there was a piece we were not sure about we just took a sharpie and drew a line connecting them. Finally we took the board and let it soak in ferrous chloride acid for thirty minutes. When the process was complete we drilled the holes we needed and soldered the pieces to the board.
