Howdy, i've been using Cadsoft's Eagle quite a while but i can't find the proper library to add a 16x2 alphanumeric LCD display. Is it missing? Has anybody found or know how to add it to the schematics board?
I will try to take a conciliatory tone to answer mccyvr (but i have to admit its difficult to do this since i am still saddened from the results on tuesday night. i wont get into further details of that anyway).Just create one..
I never understand why people ask for others libraries/parts for PCB programs..
I find amusing you say you don't trust into anything someone else has done. (i'll get some philosophical here). So you're telling me, even if go to see a dentist wont you trust in his work?. Maybe you have had read all the dentistry books out there and can feel very competent to do, let's say a dental filling in yourself with all that anesthesia stuff and so on, but it takes more than good intentions and desire of self experimentation to do it. Certainly all the work and experience we have relies in the shoulders of others in one way on another, so i think it is some strange to scrap out so easily what others do.#1 I don't trust anything someone else has done.
Second, i agree. Maybe it is faster to create the library part for myself. But what if i dont know how to do that?.#2 Its faster to just create the library part yourself than to wait for someone.
Third, okay. Judging, its something that makes us humans, so having a stance on particular PCB program based whether if its hard to use or understand or manipulate from its interface or design, etc, its entering into subjective fields, and for that i'll leave it there.If it takes more than a few minutes to create any part in a PCB program then that PCB program is garbage.
To JohnInTX, I'll appreciate your suggestion, in fact i found that module, it is something i can work on, and next time i will see for myself with more details about other variants. I have to admit i should had written in the beginning of my question i was refering to a Hitachi HD44780 diplay module compatible.TUXGR_16x2_R2 is representative of an LCD display module but mcgyvr is right, especially in this case. There are so many variants of LCDs, I'd just make one.
To t06afre, i was not aware sparkfun had an Eagle library, but i find it interesting, i will take a look into that. Thank you for pointing that for me.I think sparkfun have a Eagle library with many typical hobbyist parts. Both foot print and schematic symbols
