Hi Rob, I'm not stuck to Eagle, but I think lots of people is using it, it's quite a common tools, a standard. It's a tool (almost) every PCB manufacturers can use as input. If it can help, Sparkfun has very (very) nice tutorials about Eagle, from which I learned how to use it (and many other nice tutorials too):
- schematics: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=108 - PCB layout: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=109 One most difficult thing is to find the appropriate components in all libraries. Or/and find the appropriate libraries having the components you use. Sparkfun, again, has a nice one (free). I tend to use some of them, mixed with built-in ones.
