The Eagle Library Editor is your friend. Get used to putting parts in it. If you can't find the part in the standard Eagle libraries, it is a five minute job to draw it your self. Make your own library for custom parts so when you upgrade Eagle your parts won't dissappear. I generally draw my own parts, even resistors. There are certain sizes and combinations of packages I use, and often I draw them simply because I can't always figure out the nomenclature in the standard libraries. Is this capacitor really the same size as the one I am specifying? You can add specifications in Eagle for wach part, which helps a lot in making a BOM later. All my custom parts have specs that I can cut and paste to get what I want. The library is intimidating at first, don't be afraid to dive into it. -- Lawrence Lile Senior Project Engineer Toastmaster, Inc.

So, I thought I'd roll my own based on some existing package type. The part is an Analog Devices ADXL150AQC, in what Digikey refers to as a "14-Cerpak" ("standard package 45"). I can't seem to find any Eagle parts that refer to that package type. Is that the same as 14-SOIC? ( I don't imagine so, but would be nice). Or, anyone know of an Eagle library part based on 14-Cerpak? Thanks for any ideas you may have! Jim > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different > ways.
