Hello all.
I recently developed interest in electronics. I would like to build a solar powered garden light found at Pound/Dollar shop.
I gathered all components from ebay and also installed AutoDesk Eagle on my laptop.

I want to place QX5252F on Eagle schematic but couldn't find such component in Eagle component tray I searched with QX5252, QX5252F, LED Driver, Solar Drivers, Voltage Booster, Joule thief but none of these worked.

Further to this I could not locate component for Solar Cell, inductor.

Can someone assist me in finding above components? Do I need to add any additional library to Eagle? Do I need to create custom component?

My apologies if I have posted question at inappropriate forum section, if it is please suggest correct section and I will post question there.

Many Thanks,
Amol

I don't know if libraries for any of those things exist or not, but either way my advice is the same: find datasheets for those components and then create custom components in Eagle. Don't rely on existing parts libraries.

I recently got burned by Eagle - there are plenty of components in there whose package land patterns are totally inaccurate. I should've double checked everything myself, but I missed that step on some very simple, standard smt resistors, and learned the hard way.
