 No matter what software you're using, it's important to understand the two representations we use to describe circuits.
 
+To jump in, I've included [this **example eagle project**](eagle/examples/xmega-demo) that you can clone (it will probably even work!) to see what-all is going on when you're designing circuits.

 The ```schematic``` is a nonphysical space where we can describe which outputs or inputs from our various components are connected to one another. In a schematic, we find part ```symbols``` that pave ```pins```, these are connected to one another on ```nets```.
