Hello,
This is my first time using Eagle. I've been reading a bunch of SparkFun tutorials on the program and I've successfully created my schematic and I've layed out all the components on my board. I'm having some issues though. I'm trying to make a board that is going to be daisy chained to a few other of the same boards. I'm going to have 6 of them chained together, 2 wide, 3 high. I'm trying to copy this design:
but I'm having trouble with the square pads that are on the bottom of the board there. I've tried adding test points and they add fine, but when I go to route them, I get an error message: Can't set via to layer '16' at blah blah. I have also tried instead of adding test points, just using the Rectangle button and creating a small rectangle. If I use the rectangle button though, I can't route anything from the rectangles.
I'd like to just have squares like that on the board and route the voltage ones to each other (one on each side of the board). They need to be on the bottom of the board. I'm guessing for some reason, they're on the top part of the board and that's why I get the error message about not being able to set the via. Is there away to tell Eagle I want those test points on the bottom of the board? Or should I be using a different component, something other than test point? Thanks!
