Hi,
I downloaded “Eagle Footprint” of nokia lcd connector Eagle library to make a pcb with it for my Arduino project.
The problem is that I’m also new to Eagle and can’t connect the wire in Schematic to extend the connectors pins and you can see the problem in the image. Eagle forces a defined gap between wires and I don’t know where the setting is.
Could anybody please tell me how I can tune Eagle so that to directly connect wire to the connector pins please?
I don’t really know Eagle. Until somebody who does stops by, I suggest you look for each of these two words in help: snap, grid.
You need to have a properly drawn schematic for the board editor to generate air-wires.
Then, using the “Route” tool in the board editor, you can click on a pad and go from there.
Have a quick read through of the tutorial pdf included in your installation.
In addition to the previous comments, this won’t end well if your traces are on the bottom layer while your component is on the top layer. Using a schematic and airwires would have prevented that error.
If you have changed the grid spacing to mm instead of inches this sometimes happens.
I think you have something there. ;-)macegr:
