It should contain only original footprints created by us. We release our parts into the public domain (CC 0), use it how you like.

Library helper scripts

Download the Eagle part library helper scripts from Git.
  • lbrdump.ulp
  • lbrbuild.ulp

lbrdump.ulp

This one will split a library in smaller (ascii) scripts. You need to do the following steps:

  • open our library
  • file>export>script (this will generate one large script with all the devices in it)
  • save it (temporary!!) to the lib_dp_devices/script directory.
  • start the lbrdump.ulp script
  • open the exported library (from first step)

Any device/package/symbol that isn't already there will be generated. If you got an updated version of a package/device/symbol first remove the corresponding script(s)!!

lbrbuild.ulp

This one will build a new library (or add our devices to an existing library)

  • open a new library (or open an existing)
  • run the lbrbuild.ulp script
  • point to the generated (or downloaded from the svn) lbrdefaults.scr
  • all the packages/device/symbols are added to the new/existing library.

Todo

  • add license/header to each small scr
  • add license to the ulp scripts.

Part library naming conventions

General format is: 

[category]_[function]_[partnumber]

if we cant decide the function we just do: 

[category]_[partnumber]

Integrated Circuits

IC_[function]_[partnumber]

e.g. IC_UC_PIC12F508, IC_MEM_23K256 

IC_[partnumber]

if does not fit to a specific function e.g. IC_FAN5331

Discrete and Passive Components

CAPACITOR
RESISTOR 
DIODE

Since this is universal, this is only one device with many packages. 

TRANSISTOR_[type]_partnumber

This will be group depending whether it is an BJT or FET e.g. TRANSISTOR_FET_[partnumber]

Displays

DISP_[type of display, or maybe partnumber]

e.g. DISP_7SEG, DISP_LCD

Connectors

CON_[type of connector]_[number of pins]

e.g. CON_HEADER_1x02. I named it by "02" this usually the part where it will be incremented usually 2 digits and to make it uniform/aligned.
