Is there a user written ULP sharing repository?

qzic

Is there a place on the web where Eagle users share their ULPs? I have improved a ULP written originally by someone else and would like to share it.

The ULP is used to do an initial parts placement on a PCB with parts in the same relative position as the schematic. This usually results in parts being roughly where you want them and all on the board. No more zoom in-out when placing parts. Of course there is manual rotations and moves required afterwards but this ULP gives the user a good start.

  • Hi,

    I have not seen a location, but github is a reasonable choice that will allow people to work with your code, make fixes and improve it, and you can follow the changes they made, each time they 'fork' your code, so that you can benefit from enhancements others make too.

    For instance, in my case, I can see that two people forked my EAGLE tools (I don't have any ULPs, just script generators), my EAGLE code isn't very popular, but in theory if I had written something others were keen on, then I would be able to see when they enhanced it and uploaded to their github repo.

    Once it is on github, you could paste a link here, and/or on any other EAGLE forum, so people can find it when they search for it.

    Yeah, I'll do that. I have a github account but have never created a project. I write a lot in java too and should share some of my work.
