Eagle Mac Add Library

Similar to our package, it's important to add a '>Name' and '>Value' label on our symbol so that we can meaningfully identify parts, and display the part values on our schematic.
While it's helpful to drop 10 resistors on your schematic, it doesn't help anyone if you have no way to display what value those resistors should have!

A design library to get you 10x better organized. Add tags to any image, or a group of images, to find them faster. Eagle is a designer’s best friend. P8X32A microcontroller from Parallax. This is a 32bit, 8-cog multiprocessor microcontroller, for high speed application that offers a low power consumption. This library contains all available variants. The schematic symbol of the P8X32A was simplified in this new revision. With an editor open, select Library at the top of your interface and choose Manage Libraries in the dropdown list. In the Manage Libraries dialog, select the In Use tab to view all of the downloaded libraries stored on your computer. Scroll to find a library with the Refresh Symbol and select the Update button. This first tutorial goes over how to install the software, and tailor-fit its interface and support files. EAGLE is one of many PCB CAD softwares out there. So you might ask: 'What makes EAGLE so special?' We're fond of EAGLE for a few reasons in particular: Cross-platform- EAGLE can run on anything: Windows, Mac, even Linux.

Or perhaps you're looking to create an Arduino Shield with.

To add >NAME to our symbol, simply select the 'Text' tool in the left-hand toolbar, and we should get the following dialogue box, where we can enter our text:

After clicking the 'OK' button, we can place the text on top of our part outline, as follows:

As with our package, though, the text should go on a layer dedicated to names, which in the case of our symbol is Layer 95 (Names).
To change the layer of the '>Name' text, simply right-click on the text, and select the 'Properties' item at the bottom of the context menu.
From the 'Properties' dialogue box, changed the text layer to 95, as shown in the image below with the layer selection drop down expanded:

If you did this correctly, the >NAME text should turn gray, to reflect the default color of layer 95!

Adding the >VALUE label is identical to the way we added >NAME, except that >VALUE should be plaved on Layer 96 (Values).
After adding the text and placing it on the correct layer, you should end up with something resembling the following in your symbol editor:
