Wiring problem on Eagle

Question

Hello,

I got a problem because I can't wire to a component I created. First, I created a library for the component with Symbol, then Package and Device.

But when I am using this component on my schematic, I can't wire it. I used the same scale and grid for all the schematics and I updated libraries. But it is impossible to wire it.

If anyone has an idea to solve my problem ?

No, you misunderstand, the pads of the footprint do NOT have to be on the 0.1" grid, only the pins in the symbol! Best Regards, Rachael

Make sure that the part was made to a 0.1" grid. Also in order to see the connection points clearly turn on layer 93 Pins in the schematic. You will now see lots of green circles one for each pin. The center of those circles is the connection point, all of your nets must start and end on the exact center of these circles(this is why it's important to stay on a 0.1" grid). If you don't see green circles on your part then that means you didn't use the PIN command and you need to go back to your library and create pins. One final thing to check make sure you are using the NET command to create your connections. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. Best Regards, Jorge Garcia

Hello, From what you are saying Jorge is right, the issue is things not being on the 0.1" grid. So you need to do a few things. 1) Double check your grid set up on your schematic is 0.1" still. 2) Use the MOVE function to snap each or your components to the grid using ctrl+click on each to ensure they are correctly aligned to the grid. 3) If you still have a problem, edit your symbol and perform the same operations as above for each of the pins in the symbol to ensure they are correctly on the grid and then replace the part in the schematic with your updated one. The steps above should hopefully resolve your problem. Best Regards, Rachael
