Learn how to make double-sided professional-quality PCBs from the ground up using EAGLE–the powerful, flexible design software. It's the same CAD tools ladyada and KTOWN use for all the Adafruit PCB designs! In this step-by-step guide, electronics guru Simon Monk leads you through the process of designing a schematic, transforming it into a PCB layout, and submitting standard Gerber files to a manufacturing service to create your finished board.
