EaglePCB files

Post by Cooper_Redman »

Hi, how do I download the EagleCAD pcb files. The link takes me to a GitHub server where there is just a pile of code. I am not sure what to do after this. I am after a footprint of the
" Adafruit Bluefruit LE UART Friend - Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) "

Thanks heaps,

Cooper

First you need to install Eagle (from Autodesk). Then use it to open the BRD (the pcb) and SCH (schematic) files.

Other CAD products may be able to open Eagle files as well.

Cooper. Go to https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing- ... #downloads and click on EagleCAD PCB files on GitHub then click on code here https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Bl ... Friend-PCB and download the zip file. Unzip the file and open it with Eagle.

Ok that worked.

However, when i try and use it, the schematic symbol isn't connected to a library and thus doesn't have a footprint. I have tried copying pads / holes from the brd file but it doesnt let me.

Is there a library containing these things somewhere.

Cheers

Can you clarify how you are trying to use the files. Do they not open at all? Open but show errors? Open OK but then you are trying to do something else with them that does not work?

Or are you trying to extract a part for use in another project?
