- I use EAGLE to build my schematics and boards. I have a question regarding how to create ground plains on clad board. Would it be better for all grounds of the components to be connected to the source that powers the entire board? I've heard people connecting grounds of circuits that are close by to another circuits ground instead of making netting the lines for each component towards the ground source of the entire circuit.
- I use a double sided clad board, but my components are all SMD/SMT. Is there really a point to use the second side of the copper clad board in this case? I don't have through-hole components. Perhaps creating a ground plain spanning across the outer part of the top single side of the board where all the circuits are located would work?
