To support one of my previous posts I’ve put together some examples on how to build a thoroughly detailed component library in EAGLE. You can always place general components and then attribute them one-by-one. The issue with this is that it simply takes forever. Then if a component goes EOL you have to go through […]

EAGLE Tip: Using Attributes to create hands-off BOMs
When starting out with EAGLE it’s easy to overlook the attribute tool. However, this is crucial when putting together a professional release package and ensuring proper documentation. Attributed paramaters show as collumns and information on a BOM export. Properly adding this information to the component allows for hands-off BOM generation when it comes time to […]
Eagle Tip: Exporting Pick and Place Data
When submitting a design to a fab to get your electronics assembled, you’ll need to generate the “XY Data” file that can then be imported into the board houses’ software to program their Pick-and-Place machine. The default-installed ULP below will generate the data file in a format that matches Altium Designer and will be useable […]
Eagle Tip: Measure Trace Length
If you need to know the exact length of a trace in Eagle, for example: differential signaling, impedance matching, timing constraints, etc. There’s a built-in ULP to make this easier. The script will display basic information for each net in your circuit. To run it, just type:
