User guide: Realizing circuits on printed circuit boards using CPCB

This document describes the installation and usage of “CPCB,” a (hopefully) easy-to-use program for designing printed circuit board (PCBs) written by Daniel Wagenaar. A companion program, “CSchem,” is provided for designing circuits prior to instantiating them on a PCB. This program is documented in a separate user guide.
