How to make a custom library part in Eagle CAD tool

Step 21 Save Device

CONGRADULATIONS!! YOU ARE DONE. Click on the save button. It always a good idea to check all is well, so navigate to your library, and expand it by clicking on the plus sign. You should see your device listed. Hightlight it and it will appear in the right hand pane.

Now get to work using your new device.

@josheeg, i think this tutorial might assume that you've already consulted cadsoft's provided tutorial for the basics of how to navigate and get things done in eagle. their provided tutorial is great for getting started, but distinctly lacks instructions on how to make a new library part, which is where this instructable comes in.

@kd7vnn, this is super helpful, but one thing that i think could also be covered to users' benefit is pin direction and why it matters to make sure you supplies are set to direction Pwr instead of I/O. (i'd offer these explanations myself, but i'm unsure of whether they're used for anything beyond DRC...)

[Narbotic]

Thanks much - helpful stuff!

note - some users may want to toggle "show value" button in the device view.  This will display the pin names in the schamatic.

Excellent tutorial -- thanks for taking the time to do such a good job!

Thanks! Its taken less time to make a device from scratch than search through the existing library trying to find one to copy! However: Is the package correct in your example? In step 10 you mention (3.2, 0) which is 6.4 across, but the datasheet says 4.8?

Wow Thanks for the tutorial! I just made my first part in eagle. Eager to see the results when the PCB comes back! Keep posting good stuff like this!

I think it would be useful to have the keys pressed or how to do some things. rather than do this kind of show how. Video tutorials for eagle would be great. But a new user would not know how to fallow this completely. I apreseate it was done thow.
