Does Anyone Know a Good Rotary Encoder Library?

[nathanpc]

Does anyone know a rotary encoder EAGLE library that contains the Bourns ECW1-J or any other with a similar footprint?

...most likely you goggled this already and found nothing. This means, there is a very high chance this specific footprint is not available for download as an Eagle library...
So what is wrong with creating the package on your own?

Cheers,

Yeah, I've googled for a hour without any success. I just wanted to know if anyone had done it already before attempting to create my own for the first time (since I'm a bit worried about screwing everything up).

If you are worried you will do it wrong that means you should practice, not avoid it for longer.

In an hour your would have created your own library. It is only 3 pins and 4 holes.

Sorry, I forgot to post the footprint I made. Here it is if anyone wants it: https://github.com/nathanpc/leafSupply/blob/master/Custom%20Stuff.lbr

Thanks, just grabbed it.  Did that version work out okay once you had your board made?

I tested it using a 1:1 paper print so it should work perfectly on the final PCB. I'm still waiting for my PCB to arrive.
