Making a circuit requires several mini-projects:
Decide what function your circuit board should have
- download a cad file from the hello-world circuits section on the http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/fab/ or from hello world electronics
- Or design custom circuit
create the schematic and board layout in a CAD program
Use e.g. Eagle or Cad.py, ,or Gimp or draw it and scan
Fabricate the board
Physically milling or cutting out the board which connects components
Make a programming cable
Solder the board
If you want to where the components should be you could look at the file design, in .cad file or you can check out * Circuit descriptons. pdf
Solder
Programming the microcontroller
- Use AVRDUDE
