If you've been using Fritzing, all you need to do is click the PCB tab, and there's your
board. Well, almost. Much like the schematic view shown in
Recipe 9.5
, you need to do
some layout work before it's actually usable. I just moved the components around until
they seemed to be grouped logically and then clicked the Autoroute button. After a minute
or two of trying various layouts, Fritzing picked the one it determined to be the best.
Fig-

shows the results.

The
Fritzing pre-fab web page
has a few helpful hints, including checking the widths of all
your traces and cleaning up any questionable routing created by the autorouter.
