Hi all,

I'm just playing around with Eagle Lite this evening and cant seem to
get the thing to connect up components in certain circumstances. I get
a "this bit isn't a member of that bit" type of error message and the
program just refuses me to make the connection. Any ideas?

Secondly, I see that Autorouter is disabled in the Lite version. Does
that mean that the main benefit of using layout software is denied
me?! I mean, I can spend a few hours making up my own component
footprints in any old drawing program and position them as I wish.
What use is Eagle Lite in that case? Or is there something I haven't
grasped yet?


The autorouter should work. If you are thinking of using the autorouter
for your FSM don't bother, autorouters aren't much good for RF boards.
You will get much better results routing it manually.
