Power Shield EagleCad Files?

[A]

Felix,

I'm enjoying my power shield, very nicely done.

I noticed that the board has CC and Open Hardware logos on the board, but I haven't seen the EagleCad files or a BOM show up on your GitHub. Any plans to release these or is the reverse engineering left as an exercise to the reader?

I'd love to add a few SMD sensors to what you've got as a proto area to reduce my stack of three boards down to two.

Thanks, I will release it as soon as I have a little time to prepare everything.

Awesome, thanks again for sharing your hard work with us.

Hi Felix,

thank you for sharing the eagle files 

One, more generally question: I like the PCB rendering files (*.png), but I didn't find a possibility to create them via EagleCAD. Do I need an additionally software or how do you create these pictures?

[Felix]

PrintScreen .. paste in your favorite image editor .. save as PNG

Hmm ok but with PrintScreen I get only a picture of the Eagle layout and not from a rendered PCB. So how do you get the rendered view of your layout? I can't find any menu item in Eagle CAD and with Google I got only some information about 3D rendering...

[Felix]

What do you mean by rendered view?

In Eagle it looks like this:

And you have a picture like this:

So my question is, how do you get such a picture? Is there an option in Eagle CAD or do you use a graphic editor?

This question is not directly associated with the topic of this thread, I'm sorry for this.

Oh, that was rendered via OSHPark.com
You could technically do it in Eagle but you will need to change the layer colors and only show the layers you want. Easier at OSHPark if you just need a rendering and you don't care it's purple.
