EAGLE is a user-friendly, powerful and affordable software for efficient circuit board design (PCB design) and combines the schematic editor, layout editor and autorouter on one single interface. Shared Open Source User Language Programs (ULPs) guarantee maximum flexibility by enabling various features, such as simulation, realization of individual instruction sequences, data export and import.

The book – published by Elektor International Media – explains the functionalities of EAGLE’s main modules schematic editor, layout editor and the auto router and provides guide lines about the usage of the two editor modules. It also states examples of how to apply EAGLE and directs through the design and development of an entire PCB project.

“We at CadSoft are delighted about the release of this Getting Started guide which gives an introduction to the current EAGLE v6. Of course, we were more than happy to support this ambitious project and have provided the attached CD-ROM with the EAGLE download package for the first edition”, says Thomas Liratsch, General Manager at CadSoft.

The first edition of “Learning to fly with EAGLE V6” including the EAGLE CD-ROM is available through the Elektor website.

Beti is one of the leading electronics companies in Turkey that produce technologic training equipments for universities. By introducing new and high technology products and trainings sets based on embedded electronics in Turkey, Beti is well-known among universities, lecturers and engineering students.

“Our main intention is to prepare simple and inexpensive training tools associated with carefully prepared students’ workbooks, so that every school and every student will be able to afford to buy it and to get acquainted with new technologies”, says Zeynep Köksal, owner of Beti.

Thomas Liratsch, General Manager of CadSoft, states: “The new cooperation with Beti Bilişim Teknolojileri Ltd. Şti will help us to achieve a better market penetration in Turkey. We are looking forward to a successful cooperation as their focus on the university segment ties in perfectly with EAGLE’s main USPs: easy to use, flexible and affordable. These key functionalities meet the education segment’s requirements towards CAD software and make EAGLE so attractive for it.”

The cooperation between CadSoft and Beti will allow simplifying the design task of engineering students and professionals in Turkey by using EAGLE software in their projects. They will have the possibility to challenge every technological advance and will be able to handle their complex PCB designs easily.

Cookie board is an open-source compatible 32-bit ARM prototyping platform based on ARM Microcontrollers, offered along with a free ARM development environment from CooCox. It helps you to enter into Embedded Development and makes it simple to add sensing and control to a huge range of projects, whether you are an engineer, designer, artist or hobbyist.

Cookie board expands the concepts of 8-bit Arduino into 32-bit ARM Cortex MCUs. The Cookie NuMicro edition is based on the Nuvoton Cortex M0 microcontroller M0516LBN. The M0516LBN with Cortex-M0 core can run up to 50MHZ, with 64KB Flash for program memory; 4KB Flash for data memory, 4KB SRAM, 2 UARTs, 2 SPIs, and 1 I2C. The Cookie NuMicro edition is fully compatible with Arduino, with 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a power jack, an ICSP header; it contains everything needed to support the microcontroller. There is also an onboard CoLinkEx for debugging purpose.

Cookie board comes with CooCox development environment – a Free and Open ARM development tool environment. CooCox provides a complete tool kit including IDE, Flash Programmer, Graphical Pin configuration and code generation tool, and other assistant tools. The CoX interface, a unified peripheral interface defined by CooCox, makes it incredibly easy to reuse Arduino Shields and separate modules across different Cookie boards based on different ARM Cortex M0/M3/M4/M0+ MCU platforms.
