Been using the GM. libraries form:

But wondered if there was anymore recommendations for handy Libraries?

 Not exactly what you were asking for, but I did find this search engine. They have indexed the standard eagle parts libraries. I have found this useful when trying to locate items. I am not sure how most people find parts in the libraries.

Yes, the standard libraries are huge! I'd suggest creating a subdirectory in your library directory and moving things you don't need out of your way - like most of 'con-*' and the various ASIC, FPGA, etc. devices.

You can also configure what libraries are included in a new project by default - it's the green dots in the Eagle Control Panel (works when a project's closed or something, I don't remember, figure it out) - once again, we don't need that many. I'd suggest keeping 'rcl' (I prefer that to GM's resistors and caps for some reason), 'pinhead' (is naming your pin header library like that an easter egg?), 'pot', the 4000 and 7400 logic families, etc. There are some others, too, but there's a lot more which is never used in pedal building.

Last but not least, learn to make your own libraries. It's not hard at all.

I would be interested in sharing Eagle libraries, but even with the Gus Markov library I've been using for years, I tend to tweak things to my prefs (octagonal pads vs round, etc). It's definitely worth getting to know your way around making your own parts, even though the way is paved with headaches. I'd offer the previous (5.11 ?) version for OS X, but I had an unfortunate red wine spill, and my powerbook is down for the count. Eagle 6 seems to be working fine in Windows 7. I'm putting the final tweaks on a Supreaux Deaux layout that I'd like to have a handful fabbed for myself and friends.

Just thought I would bump this thread back from the dead with the new Eagle CAD 7 having coming out.



I have found the following libraries really handy
