EAGLE – the “Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor“ is a professional-grade CAD (computer aided design) software package for the design and drafting of electronic schematics as well as the design and fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCBs).
This Advanced User Guide provides the experienced EAGLE user with insight into using some of the more advanced features of EAGLE software. It is not a guide to teach the reader the basic concepts of EAGLE, nor does it discuss the ‘how to’ of the EAGLE interface and the simpler operations and commands of the software. That is the purpose of the author’s previous title EAGLE V6 Getting Started Guide also published by Elektor.
This eBook is intended as an enduring document covering the more advanced modules, commands, and functions which make up EAGLE. It is hoped that this eBook will provide a quick, succinct reference to assist with more complex applications and uses of EAGLE – an ‘EAGLE User’s Companion’, if you like.
Complementing the EAGLE Advanced User Guide, the EAGLE User Language manual is included in this eBook in unabridged form, reproduced with permission of CadSoft GmbH.
At the time of writing, the material in this eBook covers version 7 of the EAGLE software suite.

The State of Hollow State Audio in the Second Decade of the 21st Century
Vacuum-tube (or valve, depending upon which side of the pond you live on) technology spawned the Age of Electronics early in the 20th Century. Until the advent of solid-state electronics near mid-century, hollow-state devices were the only choice. But following the invention of the transistor (after their process fell to reasonable levels), within a couple of decades, the death of vacuum tubes was widely heralded. Yet here we are some five decades later, and hollow-state equipment is enjoying something of a comeback, especially in the music and high-end audio industries.
Many issues surround hollow-state audio:
Does it produce—as some claim—better sound? If so, is there science to back up these claims?
How do hollow-state circuits work?
How do you design hollow-state audio circuits?
If hollow-state equipment fails, how do you go about troubleshooting and repairing it?
Can we recreate some of the classic hollow-state audio devices for modern listening rooms and recording studios?
How can we intelligently modify hollow-state amplifiers to our taste?
These and other topics are covered in The State of Hollow State Audio.

The tripod adapter is custom machined from a solid block of aluminum, and provides two standard tripod mounting points with 3/8-16 and light-duty 1/4-20 thread respectively. This allows you to mount the AxiDraw to a tripod, should you have reason to do so. We would highly recommend using a sturdy tripod with a 3/8-16 connection point and appropriate counterweight (sand bag, lifting weights, etc) to balance the weight of the AxiDraw while in use. Installation is straightforward, and does not require any tools other than those included with AxiDraw: Remove the existing foot pads from the AxiDraw (either standard or outrigger feet, depending on model) and attach this plate to the captured nuts in the bottom surface of the AxiDraw. For AxiDraw SE/A3 (April 2019 and newer), the tripod adapter attaches directly to tapped holes in the base of the machine. This heavy-duty tripod adapter is compatible with AxiDraw V3, AxiDraw V3/A3 and AxiDraw V3 XLX. It is also compatible with AxiDraw SE/A3 manufactured in April 2019 and newer.
