Any open-sourced Eagle files for the GBZ Controller board?

Post by tinkerBOY » Fri Jul 28, 2017 5:44 am

I want to learn to design basic PCB using the Eagle software. Are there any free source files available for the GBZ Controller board? I think its a good idea to start with just a board for now and just add some components later along the way.

there's a 2 button one lurking around the internet. it's attached to this german forum post and was the basis for the Kitsch-Bent one:

if you already use eagle, it should be easy enough to add the extra parts

Thanks!

I have not used Eagle yet just watching some tutorials on youtube for now. 😀

I use KiCAD but I seem to be in a minority on that in this forum ;)
There's also upverter and EasyEDA which are browser based ones that are free. easyEDA has a pretty cheap fabrication service too (you don't have to use their design package ;) )
currently $2 for 10 100mm x 100mm boards.
