We found out we have a lot of regular users for Schematic Pal, and felt like we hadn't given it enough love lately. So, we refreshed the app with a more modern, responsive design, put in better ads, and restarted the army of web crawlers so we can find all of the schematic library elements out there.
We're looking at adding some new features. Would love to hear what you think would be a good addition.
Hey there, you might be interested in this: We built a handy echo-cancelling, beam-forming microphone for our own project, and decided to share it with everyone.
We've debugged some issues with our crawlers and they're now scanning the Internet finding previously unfound parts. We have almost 250,000 devices in our database now.
If anyone has a library on the internet that we aren't finding, please let us know and we'll add it as a seed for our crawler.
If anyone's been having trouble accessing the site the last few days, I found out we had a certificate problem that was preventing our load balancer from starting up. All fixed now!
I love this. As a very novice Eagle user I hated trying to sort through the millions of libraries out there. It was usually almost as quick to whip up a new device as it was to try to find what I was looking for. Thank you
Is it just a reference for symbol. I can't see any option to download and use in Eagle rightaway. How can I contribute to the entering symbols and footprints created by me?
There is a download button on bottom left (it's an icon; I was trying to save real estate :-)). If you have your files in a public github repository, my crawler will find them eventually, but feel free to email me the url and I'll add it to my seed database (starting points for the crawler).
I'll try to make the download button a little more obvious. :-)
To get your own libraries into the database, I just need my crawler to find it. If you check your libs into github just send me a URL to it and I'll add it to my seed list.
Everyone hates creating symbols, so this is pretty neat. It'd also be cool if I could save devices to my own collection. Sort of like what http://circuithub.com started out as.
Of course, you'll still have to verify all the footprints, but that's still better than creating them from scratch.
