  • I have a situation here that I have not encountered before...and I have made dozens of library devices/packages/symbols with no problem until now.  I made a new package (a Bluetooth module) and new symbol, but when I try to use "New" package in making the device, it seems to default to a 0805 SMD package (shows in the window), the rest of the list is grayed out, and when I try to select something, it comes back with error message of not enough pins on package (no kidding!).

     

    No packages are shown as defined for this device and it will not allow me to place the symbol in a .sch (says no package).  I've tried deleting the .dev file and started anew, no change.

     

    Any suggestions?  Thanks...

    Hi Don,

     

    if a package has not enough pads or smds that you can connect all the pins of the symbol EAGLE does not allow to use such a package. this is the reason why the package listed are not selectable.

    Could you please send me the library file by private email to support@cadsoft.de ? So I could take a look into it.
