Eagle and tubes.lbr Help!

diegot · 10th January 2007, 11:39 AM

I'm using Eagle and the tubes library to draw a PCB for a tube amplifer. I use this program for a long time but when a add a tube in the schematic the heaters pins do not appear. How do I put them in the schematic?

Thanks for the help.

If the library is set up properly you should be able to use the Invoke command, (the button with the four logic gates and cursor arrow on it). Click invoke, then click on the valve that you want to add the heater for, click ok, then place it where required.

Thank you pinkmouse. Worked!

Good!

Just a quick point, measure your valve sockets to make sure they match the footprints, this has caught me out before.

I thought about this yet, but I don't have the sockets in hand right now. I'll make a proto PCB until the sockets don't arrive, if I had any problem with them, I correct the PCB.

Thanks for point.
