CHAPTER 2

ImagesQuickstart

In this chapter we will get to grips with EAGLE and create the schematic and board files for a simple project that uses a 555 timer to flash a light-emitting diode (LED).

As the chapter title suggests, this chapter is all about doing it quickly rather than doing it with best practice. In later chapters, especially Chapters 4 and 5, you will find a more thorough and considered approach to design. Seasoned electronic engineers might need to avert their eyes for some of this chapter.
