After completing the circuit diagrams, these are converted into PCB by using PCB Layout. The PCB Layout enables us to manually / automatically place components and route conductive tracks. Circuit Diagrams can be drawn in Schematic Capture. Component Editor is for defining Symbol while Pattern Editor is for creating its Footprint. Next I will develop a "development board wich has enough leds, switches with and without hardware debounch, two on board potmeters, and a buzzer, the rest of the I/O points from the main board will be available the headers.In these Component Editor and Pattern Editor allows us to create new components. this should be a good start for developing your own shield. and is the exact size of the original board, all elevated pins included with text in silk layer, and the mounting holes are also pressent.

I still have to figure out to upload files here, But the board developed is for the MEGA 2560. its nice if any of you would also share there files, so we would have a place to go… But after hours of “Google” did not find any good resource. I know that a lot of people are using diptrace for designing PCB’s, and this program gives verry good Gerber Output for PCB production.
