Now that we have taken some time to learn about Fusion 360 and Simplify3D, we need to focus on the electrical aspects of this book. First, we will investigate what a PCB is and briefly describe how it is designed. Then I want to go over PCB Design software that will be used to create PCBs in this book. After that, we will have an in-depth discussion on Eagle and how to make your first PCB, as well as how to load libraries into Eagle. Then we will learn how to export the Gerber files for the final board. Finally, we will review how to get this board manufactured using PCBWay. There is a lot ...
