How the hell does one go from a .brd file that Thorsten has in the MBHP pages, to something resembling a PCB?
Sure, I’ve read all the “how to make a pcb” tutes, but this is before all that. Can someone show me how to take the Eagle Light .brd and turn it into a negative ready for photo-etching. I have acrobat distiller, so providing I can print in some sort of Traces=Black mode, I should be okay..
I don’t know if this is going to help you (I am total newbie for electronics):
-Open the .brd in Eagle
-On left menu you have icon to switch on/off visibility of ‘layers’ of the board
-Leave ones you need
-Export it as image
Again, I am total newbie to all this, but maybe this will help.
Thanks..
yeah, that’s what I ended up doing.. but it was a little haphazard. I ended up with just the traces and the holes.. but i need to get the border off before etching. I’ve pretty much almost got it.
