Task Description
Now that you know how to create circuit schematics using EAGLE, try your skills on the "Tingler" circuit. You need to download a couple of new parts libraries, then you will recreate the circuit schematic in EAGLE. On Feb 3/4 you will turn in...
- Your properly labeled circuit schematic, printed from EAGLE (color printout preferred)
- A bill of materials generated and printed from EAGLE (click here for instructions.).
- Print these items at home--don't rely on university printers/networks!!
Follow these steps before you get started...
- Before you begin, download two new libraries to your computer (and the E321 computer lab computer). Carefully follow the instructions below... caution...the instructions below are for Internet Explorer & Windows XP...the steps will vary if you are using Firefox or a Mac or Vista!
- Right mouse click on each of the these links: Attach:revised_EAGLE_lbr.zip rhine-misc.txt rhine-misc.txt and project-box.txt
- Select Save Target As...
- Select the correct destination folder in the Save In box--the correct folder is C:\Program Files\EAGLE-5.3.0\lbr
- Change File Name: to rhine-misc.lbr or to project-box.lbr (note the change in the file extension to "lbr" !!!)
- Change the Save as type box to read All Files
- Then click the Save button
- Now open up EAGLE to verify that the libraries are there...
- In the EAGLE Control Panel, double left mouse click to view all of the libraries
- Scroll down to the list of libraries to locate the new libraries you just added
- When you find the library, make sure the the "dot" to the right of the library name is GREEN. If it isn't green, right-click on the library name, then click on the Use menu item.
Here's the Tingler Schematic (pdf file) and a Few Hints!
- Here is the circuit diagram you need to recreate in EAGLE for homework
- Here is the list of parts and the associated EAGLE libraries.
- Make sure to check all of your wiring to ensure all connections are made (use the "show" tool--the icon looks like an eyeball in the upper left corner of the schematic window). When you click on the wire, it will turn bright green , and will show connections to device pins in bright red.
- Be sure to add a "junction" at any "T" or "+" intersection at which your wires really are connected!
- Be sure to label all circuit component names and values to match the original schematic diagram!
