Editing Talk:SFE Footprint Library Eagle

Could you possibly eplain what to do with the .lbr file for someone who doesn't have a clue?  There's absolutely no explanation on this site, or even an explanation of what this site is.  I moved it to different folders for a while, but then that got boring, so I started uploading it to different servers, which eventually got old as well.  So I made 700 copies in one folder until my hard drive crashed.  I think maybe that was the correct thing to do.

''OK, I'll explain what it is -- under one condition. You must, in return, explain something you know to some other newbie (which may or may not be me).''
''This is a "library" file for the EDA software known as "Eagle".''
''If there isn't enough information at [[Techniques#software_design_tools]] for you to download your own free demo copy of the Eagle software and use these ".lbr" files, please tell me.''

== Download links ==

None of the download links seem to work at present:
"The requested URL /tutorial/SparkFunEagle-11-03-09.zip was not found on this server."


== Export to other formats ==

Sorry to ask for it, but ... in any way you would export to other format like Protel, OrCAD, ... ???
Even if Eagle is great, I found nothing to use these parts in other tools. Am I wrong ?

Anyway, that's would be greatly appreciated, I think, not only from me.

''There are some footprints in these formats on the [[PCB Footprints]] page. Hope that helps. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 14:17, 6 August 2007 (PDT)''

Are you using linux? Then put the .lbr files in /usr/share/eagle/lib. .lbr files contain devices, is as simple as that :)


I am attempting to use the Spark Fun library (under Ubuntu 9.04) with 4.16 Eagle. Eagle will not open the library saying that Eagle 4.60 or greater must be used. I think this is an error.

I'm having the same issue, anyone have an answer to this issue yet? 7/30/09 - Thanks!

== Corrupt SparkFun Eagle Library zip file ==

I have tried to download the SparkFun Eagle Library zip file from 2 different computers (XP and Windows 7) and it says the compressed folder is invalid or corrupted.  I also tried older versions of the library and the same thing happened.  Thanks!  I am really looking forward to creating a PCB for a Clodbuster rover I want to make.

-Hello, it will be great if you can add the LM072 Bluetooth module to the Eagle library
