Default Using Eagle Schematic For Wiring Diagrams

Hi all,

I was looking for a good way to draw the complete wiring schematic of my -7A project. I'm pretty proficient with Eagle for other work I do, so I gave it a shot. Here is a link to the .pdf result (so far), the schematic (.sch file), and the library of parts I created (.lbr file). http://powersafetech.com/rvlist/Hopefully this is helpful to others as well!

Mike

Edit:
Here's the individual links for convenience:
- PDF: http://powersafetech.com/rvlist/Wiring_RV7A.pdf
- Schematic: http://powersafetech.com/rvlist/Wiring_R7A.sch
- Parts Library:http://powersafetech.com/rvlist/avionics.lbr

Also, I swaped the black and white pdf for the color one I'd intended to post. Plotting the B&W is less expensive, so that's what I printed for use in the shop.

Looks nice,
Your link has an extra http in there.

Were you using a freeware version of Eagle? Or perhaps a better question, would it matter, with your schematic, if the freeware version of Eagle was used?


Thanks,

Mike, it looks great -- and I've swiped your Eagle library. Thanks! I also use Eagle extensively for other things, and this will help tremendously when it comes time to do my planning and wiring diagram.

Default Eagle Schematic for Wiring Diagrams

All,

I used the freeware version of Eagle to create the schematic I posted.

Everyone is welcome to do what they like with these files as far as I'm concerned. I make no warranty about their correctness (though I hope they are!) I created them with no outside help or input, so these are free to use. I referenced the original documentation, where available, for each part I modeled. There are some parts I modeled where I left off pins that were reserved by or not used by the manufacturer. Parts modeled were for my panel, which has a lot of stuff on it.

For my -7A, we are finishing the canopy right now. Still have interior, wheel pants, and outside finishing work to do.

Anyway, good luck, good wiring, and happy aviating!
Mike
