Help finding EagleCad parts and libraries

[lofie]

I have been using EagleCad with gaussmarkov's library for a while now, though I have never created my own part/library. Where can I look for parts that are not included in gaussmarkov's libraries? I am mostly interested in the PCB mounted pots that are sold through SmallBear:

If these libraries are not readily available should I venture into creating new parts on Eagle using a components data sheet? Does anyone have any advice or information on creating libraries? Thanks

Hi!

Day when you will have to draw some part will come soon or later anyway , so if you are not able to simply google up desired library, find some on-line tutorial and learn how to draw yours. It takes some time to get into it, but it gives you great freedom once you master it.

Good luck, T.

is there a easy way to upload something here?  if so i can post a .lbr.  i made a simple edit on one of gaussmarkovs libraries to use right angle pcb mount pots.  i used the smaller right angle pots, but those will obviously work the same.  there's a tiny amount of wiggle room on the fit - it can probably be made 1mm smaller or so...

learning how to draw them is really useful, though...
