Hello. And Bye.
This workshop, taught by Electrical Engineer, [http://www.jeremyblum.com Jeremy Blum], will focus on using the popular [http://www.cadsoftusa.com/ Eagle CAD] schematic capture and PCB design tool to design a custom-printed circuit board (PCB) from scratch. Participants will learn how to create a schematic for their design, import part libraries, generate a layout, route traces, and export a PCB design. At the end of the class, participants will optionally be able to send their designs to a batch PCB fabricator so they can be manufactured (for a few dollars per board). Electronics experience is helpful but not required - all are welcome!
 
== Class Details ==
This workshop will be similar to an Eagle Workshop that I taught at HOPE-X in NYC. If you'd like to get an idea of the content, you can [http://goo.gl/8LI2fw check out the slides from that course here]. People [https://twitter.com/CryptixCoder/status/490666881796558849 seemed] to [https://twitter.com/paulcarbone/status/490625964322607104 like it], so I'm doing it again in San Francisco! The slides for this course will likely be slightly updated from those, and I'll share a link to the newest version as soon as it's ready.
 
Here are some pretty screenshots from the course:

== When/Where is the class? ==
The workshop will take place at the [[Classrooms#Church|Church classroom]] in the [[Noisebridge]] Hackerspace on '''Sunday, August 10 at 10:30 AM.''' I expect the class to last for about 2 hours.
The address is:
[[Getting_Here|2169 Mission St.<br>
3rd Floor<br>
San Francisco, CA 94110]]
 
The gate to the space should be open while the class is in session. If not, [[Getting In|you can read up on getting into the space by clicking here]].
 
== What do I need to do to prepare? What should I bring? ==
Bring a laptop running Windows, Linux, or Mac. Please install EagleCAD before-hand to save time. You [http://www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/?language=en download it for free here].
You do not need to have any electronics or PCB design knowledge prior to this class. However, having a bit of electronics knowlege (ohm's law, etc) will speed things up. The class will be taught in english.
 
== How much does this class cost? ==
This class is free, as are all classes taught at Noisebridge. You do not need to register or RSVP - just show up!
 
If, however, you feel the class was beneficial, we'd really appreciate a [[Donate or Pay Dues|donation to Noisebridge]] to fund our ongoing renovation and lasting presence in the city.
 
== How can I get more information? ==
