Every time I end up having to “roll my own” symbols, especially for parts that were once common (like the 1488 / 1489 RS232 driver ICs), I wonder if someone else hasn’t done the exact same thing as I.
Hate to have to reinvent the wheel every time…
(and before anyone else offers to share their copy, I already copied and modified the standard 'LS00 and 'LS126 symbols to create the parts I needed)
And for the record, I no longer consider Ultra Librarian to be a “good” site for symbols. Their offerings are the same thing EVERY [censored] time - a big, fat, lazy, script-generated box with pins in order up and down the sides. >.<
Your above comment is still the best solution, in my opinion.
By the time you have been for a surf and checked a couple of sites; gone to the trouble of importing, correcting the drawing where needed and compared the drawing with a data sheet for accuracy, you might as well either have drawn it from scratch or modified something to suit.
SnapEDA and PCB Libraries are sites similar to Ultra Librarian. I guess there are about 10 of such sites and there is probably some variation in the quality of their libraries. But I’m both a bit old school and peculiar in how I want my schematic symbols, and that combination does not match well with such sites. So I just make my own.
Привет всем! Я знаю, что создавать новые символы в KiCad не просто, а очень просто! Тоже скажу про отпечатки ваших ног. Не ленитесь! про 3D модели - не знаю, не пробовал!
Mod edit: @vvc_1950 Please use something like Google Translate or some other tool.
Thank you.
Hi all! I know that creating new symbols in KiCad is not easy, but very easy! I’ll also talk about your footprints. Don’t be lazy! I don’t know about 3D models, I haven’t tried it!
