Here is a great little project I'd love to START my Eagle work with. I

beleive I'll grow the project into several little jobs. But, I can't seem to

get started with Eagle!! I've downloaded the 5.0 but can't find my way

around the libraries and can't find any of the three ICs this project needs.

 

Might I ask one of the members of this group if you can get me started?

 

Thanks in advance

  • Yes. DigiKey has them at reasonable prices. I drive an antique

    "International Harvester" Scout and am in a club with 20 or so more of the

    same model. My plan is to build "Oil" "Temp" "Fuel" and "Amp" guages which

    will fit into the original meter housings and then give them to the members

    of my club. Those will be quite a nice addition.

     

    I will investigate making my own. I can see I need time to figure this cad

    software out. It is attractive because it will let me move items physicaly

    on the board and keep the connections made. That will help me "fit" the

    boards in the small space.

     

    Thanks for you help.

    Sorry I was not more specific. The ICs are;

    LM340-T-5 (5vdc voltage regulator)

     

    NTE2054 or CA3162E

     

    NTE2032 or CA3161E (BCD Display Driver)

     

    Can you tell me what libraries these might already exist in?

    It is quicker to make your own device as Bert suggested and any lib you

    find should be checked against the data sheet.

     

    But before you get too involved with that project can you find the IC's in

    small or required quantities.

     

    A job like that can be done with a pic microcontroller and some software

    for a lot less hardware cost. You just have to have the volume to pay for

    the software time.
