These images will be mixed to create a realistic view of the PCB. The export script writes in the folder of your design a *.eup file with the details of your board : shape, thickness, position of the packages, and exports some images of the copper, silk and masks. Users of older versions of Eagle ( before 5.11) might see popups asking for the overwrite of the image files. It should take just a few seconds, then you are back to your design. A popup will prompt two hexadecimal colors : one for the mask over copper (usually lighter) and one for mask over epoxy (darker). If you want to try different color sets for your board, try the custom solder mask color. It skips all the steps related to image creation so it is much faster. If you have a large board and just want a quick preview of the board and components you can select the no image option. You can use the tPlace layer for the silk screen, or tPlace + tNames if you have placed the designators correctly. If you have a very large board or want a quick preview you can use the 300 dpi but the quality of the texts will be lower.

600 dpi is ok most of the time and has sufficient details. The images will look better with the 1200 dpi resolution, but the model will get heavier and slower, so you should use it for small boards only. Here you can set the colour of your board, the type of plating. You can click on File / Run / eagleUp_export.ulp.Ī window with various settings will appear. The initial idea was to make a simple 4-bit meter for analog signal. Please consider this only as a material for modelling. Export from Eagleįor this small tutorial I provide a demo project with a layout and the corresponding schematics. The board provided for the tutorial is ready to use. It can be a rectangle, a complex polygon with rounded edges… Unfortunately at this step a circular contour does not work as it has no edges.įor better accuracy, set the width of your outline to zero so it’s as thin as possible. Make sure that your board has a closed contour on layer 20 (Dimensions). If a tutorial is listed in the Category:Tutorials and not in this table please insert it.īasic Part Design for v0.Open your project with Eagle as usual. Here are listed all the tutorials that are not in the manual regardless of their quality. They are geared towards more experienced users, who are already somewhat familiar with the program. These are tutorials that are related to scripting or programming. Simulate the movement of an industrial robot: set up a trajectory, set up home position, change the robot position, insert various waypoints, and simulate the robot movement.
