I want to use either ULP or certain menu function to select all vias with certain drill size, how do I do that? I've googled the solution but as what you often get with searching eagle related topics, unhelpful results populated the entirety of the first few pages.
Tried uncheck "Include Footprint LIB" option but still times out. Works for designpark but not eagle. In and out parameters same as eval board but still does not export....timeout error for any config. Vin = 12-14.5, Vout = 31V, 300ma. Have tried several different in and out but still export "times out".
I personally hated eagle, (as well as kicad) I was forced to use it as a freelancer as thats what some of my clients used. Now I use Diptrace for schematic and pcb. if my clients dont like it, sorry, Im to old for this now, dont use me then
Resistors, simple components that they are, cause a lot of confusion for Eagle beginners, perhaps because the eagle library contains 100+ different package/schematic options for generic resistors. Or perhaps it's because a search for short word like "R" isn't practical, and a search for "resistor" turns up a bunch of special purpose specific-manufacturer devices.
The general purpose fixed resistor devices are called either R-US (if you like the US zigzag line type of schematics symbol) or R-EU (if you prefer the European simple rectangle.] The package options are numerous, but make sense after you realize that there's a common format: "WWLL/SS" where WW is the body width, LL is the body length, and SS is the hole spacing, all in truncated millimeters. A typical 1/4W resistor measures about 2.5mm in diameter and 7mm long; hole spacing depends on how you bend the leads. So R-US_0207/10 is a 1/4W resistor with 10mm (actually 4*2.54, or 10.16mm, since we want to stay close to a 0.1 inch (2.54mm) grid.) R-US_0207/2V is the same resistor mounted vertically with 2.54mm lead spacing. 1/8W resistors are similarly designated R-US_0204/SS"
I'm going to pick a vertical package for use on our schematics, though of course it doesn't matter for the schematic drawing anyway. Perhaps I'll do the board layout in a "related" Instructable later...
When you have parts that aren't going to mount on your actual PCB anyway, such as control knobs and battery packs and switches and lightbulbs and such, you of course have a lot of flexibility in how they are portrayed on the schematic and PCB. You can use single pins for each wire, or find a part whose drawing isn't too obnoxious that has pins of appropriate size and shape for attaching wires as well as an actual component.
The eagle library has *A* "lamp" part. It says it's actually an LED holder, but the drawing is OK and the part has pins suitable for attaching wires that go to off-board lamps, so it looks fine for our purposes.
. This will bring up the installation dialog. Follow the instructions and eagle will be installed in your system.
If you try to execute (as the normal user of course!!!) the eagle binary in the installation bin directory (/opt/eagle-5.6.0/bin in my example) then it will complain that it cannot read the file eagle.key. To solve this you must (under su) move into the directory /opt/eagle-5.6.0/bin and
After that when running eagle for the first time just select the freeware.key file and everything will go fine. After the first run you may want to restore the access rights of the key files so as su issue the command
Since I need a lot of functions very often, it is very handy to have shortcuts. Per default, eagle has some, but there are not good placed. But eagle allows to change them very easy. But attention: these shortcuts are saved in the eaglerc file, which contains all current settings you made. This file is read at the start of eagle too.
because eagle has been for many many years the professionals choice when they dont want to spend any money there not going to up and change just because some other tool may or may not be better at the timebut i have to disagree about KiCAD i find it to be overly simplified where it should not be and overly complicated where it should be easy and it crashes too muchim also not an altium fan, i have to use it for work and it was back in the day the best tool you can use but they have lagged behind other free suits
The XML schema included in every installation of EAGLE. You can find it in the Doc folder of your installation, the file is called eagle.dtd.As already mentioned you can extract all of the libraries from a board schematic pair by running the exp-lbrs.ulp that comes with EAGLE. In V6 you can run it directly by going File -> Export -> Libraries.
