Hi there, as discussed in last video, In this video, we'll be installing the libraries the external libraries inside our Eagle installation. And as you can see there is a specific link are a blog post also given by the Autodesk eagle, About installing the Adafruit and sparkfun libraries. I will give this link in the description of this video so that you can directly access it, but you can also follow this tutorial. To do the same. The very first thing we need to do is we need to install those libraries. So you can just google search sparkfun library, Eagle, and Adafruit library Eagle.
So these are the two links for it. sparkfun Eagle libraries GitHub link of sparkfun and this is Adafruit Eagle library, the GitHub link of Adafruit. So just clone or download them. onto your machine on your computers, just download the zip and this one is for sparkfun and this one is Eagle library. Now Once the download is finished, you can see we get two different zip files. One is for Adafruit, and another one is for sparkfun.
So let's select this two files and paste it somewhere in a accessible location. I'll put them in documents. And here I will put them in the folder called Eagle. Inside this I will create a completely new folder. Let's call it Eagle underscore custom underscore you And here, I will paste this library files. Now, I will right click and extract files into this location.
This is done for this path for libraries, I will delete the zip file. And this is same for Adafruit libraries. Again, delete this file original. So you have the libraries downloaded over here better. You copy those contents and place it in the original location. So you don't need the additional folders like this.
Similarly this tutorial now once you have downloaded and placed your libraries inside of this folder, what you need to do is you need to choose or copy this location. Open the Eagles control panel here. In the options, you will see directorates click on directories, there, we will have a link of libraries. Now remember, you don't need to delete the existing one. Instead, just put a semicolon over there and paste this new location that we have just created. Remember, do not delete the original location.
So after pasting the new location, it should look like this. And just click on OK. That's it. So your new library file or your libraries are added to the eagle installation. Now whenever you want to use them, what you need to do first, it's too activate them. So here is the eagle custom lip in the library bar you can see. So Eagle custom libraries, right click that folder and click Use all it will activate your library and you will be able to use those sparkfun Adafruit custom libraries or for that set any custom libraries in your schematic.
So this is where we were. If I click on Add, or if I type add, you can see the same component window will open up now, but here I can see Adafruit as well as down there somewhere I should be able to see this sparkfun Library. So by opening the Adafruit we can see all the components that are added by the Adafruit library So that's about it. Whenever you want to use any of the components just double click or click on that component look for the symbol and package in the package shows green it means it is a p th hole or printed through hole which can be used for single sided PCB as well as any through hole PCB. Double click that and you can use it next video, we'll finish our schematic of power supplies in the Adafruit library. Thanks for watching.
