Hi All,
I am looking to put together a PCB for a project I am working on. I have gone through the beginning SparkFun EAGLE tutorials, but am a little lost as to how I should integrate an Arduino into the final PCB design.
Does anyone out there have some EAGLE files that have an Arduino built-in to their project? My project really just needs an Arduino, a couple of digital pins on the PCB and power and ground…fairly simple.
Thanks in advance!
A common way to add circuitry to an Arduino board is to create a "shield", which is simply a board that plugs on top of an Arduino board. Sparkfun even sells prototype "sheild" boards, such as their DEV-07914. Otherwise you can take the standard EAGLE schematic and board files (available for free) and modify them to add your additional circuitry.e12pilot:

If I’m interpereting you correctly, you want an easy way to add an “arduino” to a schematic.
You can do this a couple of ways.
[1] Use macetech’s “Arduino shield scaffold”. You’d open this schematic/board, rename it to whatever you want, and start adding your new components.

[2] Add the arduino as a part. It is included in Ladyada’s library. You’d add her library to your copy of Eagle as usual, then choose to add the part called arduino to your existing schematics.
