Req: Missing part libraries about tinypico-hardware HOT 5 CLOSED

1. Create and open a new library.
2. Import & open TinyPICO schematic
3. Right click on a symbol in the actual schematic
4. Select "Copy device to library" - will be greyed out if the library is not open.
5. Repeat for all components, then save the library.
6. Win!

This is the Eagle workflow that also works in Fusion360 - Well, apart from "2. Import" as They are already there in Eagle.

Hi Henry,

I didn't supply a TinyPICO library because it's really not needed due to the way Eagle works.

All of the data you need for each part on the board is in the board file, so you can easily and quickly make your own library of the parts of you want to go down the road of attaching 3D models to the components.

Create a library, open it in the editor, and then right click on the parts you want to add, and copy the device to the library. From there, you can assign 3D models if you choose.

As the project is open source, what you are asking for seems like a perfect candidate for what you (or others could make) and then contribute back to the project :)

Cheers,
Seon

Update: Any efficient use of Eagle appears beyond my ken. I've either given up, or put this on a backburner for now.

Hi @UnexpectedMaker ,

Thanks for the quick response. I am willing to do this, and submit a PR. The steps for doing this are not obvious.

Is this export option the start of the path you were suggesting, or did you have another alternative in mind? I couldn't find a way to just right-click on a part to be able to add it to a new library....

Awesome! Thanks for the pointers. I'll see what I can put together!
