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

    Finding parts in the Eagle libraries can be difficult if you're new to Eagle

    (and sometimes even if you're not).  Your U1 sounds like a standard 5V

    regulator in a TO-220 package.  Look for LM340 or 7805.

     

    Your U2 and U3 are part numbers I've never heard of.  You may end up having

    to make your own parts.  It's really not that hard, but you'll have to take

    some time to read the manual and understand the process.  Since these chips

    have standard DIP footprints, you can use an existing DIP Package from an

    existing library, make up your own schematic Symbol, and then create your

    own Device using the Symbol and Package, and Connect the respective pins to

    the pads.

    Hi, I'm new to this thing (not EAGLE).  It happened recently when I opened

    up my schematic and tried to add a part.  When the "add" dialog opened,

    there was nothing displayed.  I tried re-installing it (turned out instead

    of re-installing, I upgraded to the newer version), but that didn't help

    either.  I also noticed some strange things happening on my computer.

    Thanks in advance.

    At the initial control panel look at the library section and make sure

    the libraries have green dots next to them.
