Does anyone have the Eagle files for a MikroBUS socket?

andrebruton

Hi

 

I am busy designing a system that uses the MikroElektronika GSM Click2 module. Does anyone have the Eagle files for the MikroBus socket. I know it is just 8 pins on each side with a specific distance between the two rows.

 

Best regards

    Hi Andre,

     

    I did a little research and found nothing regarding its Eagle Library, They have some specifications of the socket on their site HERE maybe you can use these...

    Best Of Luck...

    Hi

     

    Yes, I did a whole lot of research and could not find anything. I contacted MikroElekronika and the person I was dealing with said that the company has a policy of not allowing any files to be sent out IE they are still living in the dark ages... #fail.

     

    I was hoping someone sees my request who has made the part before. It is one of the frustrating things about Eagle in that to design a simple schematic diagram, you need to select the parts you want. yes i know it makes it easier to do board design later, but I would prefer to just add a resister, give it values and later Eagle should give me examples of that component and let me add it. Most designs I have done, takes days to put together and I had to pay people on Fiverr to make that Eagle file if the supplier (like MikroElekronika) does not have or will not give out Eagle files.

     

    A bit frustrated...

     

    Best regards

    Here you go, attached is a late Christmas present.

     

    It is  untested but I feel it is good to go. I used your need to see if

    I could pull the information out of the MikroElectronica Protel file.

     

    Quite an interesting exercise.

     

    The holes were to small for standard pin headers so I increased them to

    the Cadsoft library size 40mil

    Protel file simulates proportional font with many many vector lines. So

    text naming of the pins is now Eagle vector font of the same height and

    thickness. The MikroBus bus symbol was again made up of hundreds of

    lines (1mil and 3mil) so that is now 5 circles and  6 lines. The words

    microBUS are original so interested souls may like to see how many lines

    that adds to the file. 600!

     

    All the best
